KAPALUA, Hawaii – Sure, the calendar has changed, but the names have remained the same at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions to protect the status of the PGA Tour landscape.
In the lead, thanks to an 8-under 65 at the Plantation Course? None other than last year’s champion, Patrick Reed.
One behind, thanks to three birdies over the last six holes? That would be the kid who seemingly won or was close in everything played last year, Jordan Spieth.
“Calendar may have changed,” Spieth said, “but my play should stay the same, in my mind.”
A birdie at the closing hole, his seventh in a bogey-free 66?
