Henley takes first-round lead
Print Edition
RUSSELL Henley ran off eight birdies for an 8-under 65 on Friday to take a one-shot lead over South Korea’s Bae Sang-Moon after the opening round of the PGA Tour’s Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii.
“I kept the ball in front of me pretty decent today, and didn’t scare too many chances at bogey,” the American said. “But my main thing was obviously I putted great and was seeing the lines today. If I can putt like that every day, I would probably have a few more wins.”
Bae kept his focus despite distractions off the course regarding his ability to travel to future tournaments.
He was in Honolulu practicing last week when he learned the South Korean government had denied an extension of his overseas travel permit. Bae has deferred his mandatory Korean military service, and there are questions over how much time he spent at home during this deferral.
He has hired a legal firm to sort out the problems, but inside the ropes, Bae looked as if nothing was wrong.
He opened with six birdies in eight holes and finished with a 66.
Masters champion Bubba Watson had a 70, a reasonable start.
Jimmy Walker and Patrick Reed, who joined Watson as the only multiple winners on tour last year playing at Kapalua, led a group at 67 that included Scott Stallings and Ben Martin.
