HONOLULU -- J.J. Spaun got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 18th hole Saturday for a 5-under 65, the final birdie giving him a one-shot lead at the Sony Open going into a final round where more than a dozen players remain in the mix.
Spaun mixed bogeys with birdies over the final four holes at windy Waialae, the dropped shots costing him and Patrick Fishburn a chance to create some separation.
Instead, it's the same old scene along the shores just east of Waikiki Beach. This old-school course with its doglegs and deep bunkers and unpredictable Bermuda rough has a way of staying bunched until the very end.
