Powerball topic of conversation at Sony Open

HONOLULU — The Powerball jackpot being at $1.5 billion is a topic of conversation on the range at the Sony Open, but few players are interested in participating in the largest lottery payout in history.

Like Johnson Wagner, who believes just earning playing privileges on the PGA Tour is like winning the lottery, many players have not even given the lottery a second thought nor what they would do with such a payout. Of course, that doesn't include Boo Weekley.

Boo Weekley, a 42-year-old professed redneck from the panhandle in Florida would rather be hunting or fishing versus beating balls on the range at the Sony Open this week.
