News sport : Fantasy golf power rankings: Sony Open in Hawaii

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,, at 16:43

It's Tuesday, and that means we reveal our Devil Ball Golf power rankings for this week's PGA Tour event, the Sony Open in Hawaii.


The long-time Hawaiian Open is played at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, which is a classic, tree-lined track that's fairly short by modern tour standards. However, the targets are also small, placing a premium on approach shots, particularly into the par 4s on this par-70 course. Low scores can be had with a hot putter.


Here's a look at our top five.



  1. Chris Kirk: Kirk closed the TOC on a tear, with a course-record-tying 62 at the Plantation Course. He was runner-up here a year ago to Jimmy Walker and in fifth position in 2013. No brainer.

  2. Jimmy Walker: Walker may have let the TOC slip away to Patrick Reed in a playoff, but the Sony Open defending champion is clearly on form. Well worth a look.

  3. Zach Johnson: The 2009 Sony Open winner looked great at Kapalua, although he didn't figure in the playoff. He was T-8 here last year and this old-style course fits hits game perfectly.

  4. Matt Kuchar: Kuchar closed nicely at the Tournament of Champions, following up on a lousy third-round effort. He's been in the top eight in his last three Sony Open starts.

  5. Russell Henley: The 2013 winner here was knocking on the door of the Kapalua playoff and has been playing some hot golf dating back to last calendar year.
