Golf
HONOLULU — Even after missing a 2-foot birdie putt on his last hole, it wasn’t hard for Zac Blair to see nothing but opportunity Saturday at the Sony Open.
Blair three-putted for par on the closing par 5 at Waialae and had to settle for a 6-under 64, giving him a share of the lead with Brandt Snedeker as the 25-year-old from Utah goes after his first PGA Tour victory.
Snedeker missed birdie putts of 10 feet and 12 feet on the last two holes for a 66.
They were at 16-under 194, and they still had plenty of company.
Kevin Kisner recovered from a 5-iron that wound up on the other side of the corporate tents behind the par-3 17th for his only bogey of the round.
He got up-and-down from behind the green on the 18th for a birdie and a 66, leaving him one shot behind.
