As far as back-to-backs go on the PGA Tour, there is perhaps none easier than the Hawaiian double – a little island hop from Maui, site of last week’s SBS Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, to Oahu for this week’s Sony Open at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.
A year after skipping Sony and globetrotting for early-season starts in Abu Dhabi and Singapore, Spieth will lighten the travel load and take advantage of his situation this time around. After a T-3 finish at Kapalua, Spieth planned to head straight to Waialae for a little Monday practice ahead of his second Sony Open start.
“I think that getting out there (Monday) will be big for me, do some short-game work, and not a ton,” Spieth said Sunday. “I won’t spend a lot of time out there tomorrow, but just a little bit of maintenance on the swing and some extra short-game work.”
