HONOLULU (AP) -- This is a new year for Brandt Snedeker, and an old season for
Snedeker's final official tournament of 2015 was a trip to the Australian PGA Championship and a small dent in his pride. He opened with an 84 and followed with a 75. Working on a new setup with swing coach Butch Harmon, the results have come quicker than he might have imagined.
Snedeker knew where the ball was going off his new driver and old putter, a deadly combination that gave him a 5-under 65 in the Sony Open and a one-shot lead over Kisner going into the weekend at Waialae Country Club.
