Listen hear SONnY...
Jordan Spieth....Let’s hope the ‘Greller Team’ are right about this shorter, flatter test in Honolulu.
Justin Thomas.....He has now ‘learnt to win’ so expect a BIG 2017 from JT.
Brandt Snedeker.....’avenge or revenge is sweet’ having shot 260 last year for 2nd place - a score that would win all bar two of the last 14 Sony’s.
Soren Kjeldsen.....Dane sailing in a high from the windy World Cup in tricky K.H. Also 4th in DP World Dubai & on tight Valderrama track too.
Kevin Kisner.....5th last year having 3 MC’s prior. RSM Classic 2015 Champion at Sea Island.
R: Charles Howell III.....course horse.

Justin Thomas has a seven shot lead in the #SonyOpen in Hawaii, and 5 of you have picked him.

WD GT ..........if you picked JT would have been amazing start to the Comp.

Is there a Storm brewing?..Or is it it just a Storm in a teacup..I'm on to weather the Storm!...sorry

Cheers Cm..I think I picked Thomas a few times last season as well..he is in fantastic form at the moment
