Hawaii Gofers Struggle in first round of Sony Open

Hawaii golfers struggled in the first round of the Sony Open in Hawaii. Tadd Fujikawa the hometown hero shot a +4 while Dean Wilson was +1, Alex Ching was +2 and Parker McLachlin was +3. The projected second round cut will probably be around -1 forcing them to have great days to make the cut.

Fujikawa is still optimistic about his chances of making the cut "I just need to get off to a good start tomorrow." And indeed he will need not just a good start but at least a 5 under par day to make the cut. Last year Tadd made the cut and went on to finish in 20th place so we can just hope lightning strikes again.

Sony Open in Hawaii Kicks off the the Pro-Am and actual play starting on Thursday. Hawaii's Dean Wilson and Tadd Fujikawa will be playing in the tournament. The above picture was taken at the 2007 Pro-Am and is of Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle and Kevin James and is Hawaii Blogs Photo of the Day.
