Harry Higgs wasn’t so much digging his early wake-up call Thursday morning at the Sony Open in Hawaii.

“It's tough for me starting first off when the sun is barely getting up; I don't know when to put my sunglasses on,” said Higgs, who started his round at 7:10 a.m. local time off of Waialae Country Club’s 10th tee. “It's a little hard for me to see and it's a little dark for me.”

But Higgs managed to do just fine, opening with a 5-under 65 that had him three shots off of leader Peter Malnati’s pace after the morning wave.
