Harry Hall shot a colourful opening 6-under 64 at the Sony Open in Hawaii featuring ten birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey at the par-4 8th to take a share of the six-way lead in Honolulu.<\/p>\n

Hall bettered his record for most birdies in a round, he most posted nine at last week’s Sentry<\/a> in Maui where he finished T8. He has held the 18-hole lead or co-lead once so far in his career on the PGA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Just tried to keep it going from last week, I guess,” said the Englishman<\/a>. “A little bit different challenge here this week trying to get the ball in some tighter areas off the tee and then that’s kind of the key for me is getting the ball in the fairway and trying to go from there.<\/p>\n

“It’s interesting for me going around here because I do feel like I let one get away I think it was 2018 where I played well so there’s a few spots around here that sting a little bit thinking back to that.<\/p>\n

“But I certainly feel like it’s a golf course I should play well at, and maybe the results haven’t quite worked out how they should, I feel like. A few years where I’ve come over here thinking my game is in really good shape and shoot a good round in the first round, a couple over in the second round and miss the cut. The results have been a little bit mixed.<\/p>\n

“But I do enjoy it here. I really enjoy these sort of golf courses on Tour, here, Colonial, Harbour Town, where you’ve got to get the ball in the fairways and it’s pretty tricky to do so.”<\/p>\n
