If his start to the 2017 season has been any indication, Justin Thomas is in for one heck of a year.
After he captured last week's title at the Tournament of Champions, Thomas opened the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu with a historic round of 59 to take a commanding lead at 11 under par.
Thomas owns a three-shot edge over Hudson Swafford and a four-shot lead over Rory Sabbatini heading into Friday's second round:
Thomas opened his round with an eagle on the par-four 10th, and he rounded out his back-nine start with five birdies, a bogey and two pars before he made the turn at No.
