Sony Open in Hawaii Par Scores
- On Saturday, Davis Riley shot a 3-under 67 with four birdies in the last seven holes to take a two-stroke lead at 12-under 198 in the Sony Open.
- Wind gusts reaching 30–35 mph turned Waiʻalae Country Club into a stern test, pushing Saturday's scoring average just above par.
- Riley hit a wedge inside 2 feet on the 14th and made a 15-footer on the 15th, then converted a 60-foot putt after running it seven feet past on 18.
- The wind and scoring trends suggest a higher-than-usual winning score, as no Tour event will face the same headwinds that the Sony will find Sunday and a 15-under or worse finish would be the highest since 2020.
- Much has been made this year about the Sony Open's future in Hawaii as observers describe a second-rate field despite some top pros, and cancellation last week's The Sentry should strengthen next week's The AmEx field.
