Sony Open in Hawaii - Round 1 Recap: Kisner and Snedeker Hold a One Stroke Co-Lead

Kevin Kisner and Brandt Snedeker are co-leaders after Round 1 of the Sony Classic in Hawaii.  After three birdies on the front nine, Snedeker jarred a pitch for eagle on No. 10 and followed his lone bogey on No. 14 with birdies on each of the two subsequent holes.  It marked Snedeker's fourth score of 6-under or better across his last five rounds. Kisner earned his breakthrough win earlier this season at the RSM Classic and he got off to a strong start last week at Kapalua before finishing ninth. He is again in contention after a 63 that included eight birdies against just one bogey, and he extends his run of consecutive subpar rounds to 13 - the longest such active streak on Tour. Jimmy Walker is in search of a rare three-peat this week in Honolulu, but the two-time defending champ has an uphill battle if he is to return to the winner's circle. Walker carded a 1-under 69 that included an eagle and a birdie against two bogeys, putting him six shots off the early pace with dozens of names ahead of his in the standings. So which player has the advantage going into today's second round? And just what does the outcome of the first two PGA tournaments in Hawaii portend for the coming 2016 year?
