Paul Casey made nine birdies on a day that felt like paradise at the Sony Open and was tied for the lead with Webb Simpson at 8-under 62.

Casey is playing Waialae for the first time in a decade. He typically is in the Middle East this time of the year. But he gave up his European Tour membership and decided to start his year in Hawaii. So far, it looks like a smart choice.

Matt Every became the first PGA Tour player to be disqualified from an event in 2015 when he played with a non-conforming club in Friday's second round of the Sony Open.

According to the Golf Channel broadcast, Every called over a rules official when he realized the 4-iron he bent in the opening round might not be conforming. The result of playing with a non-conforming club is disqualification.

Jimmy Walker has a two-shot lead in the Sony Open and knows how to approach the final round.

Don't let up.

The experience isn't from Monday at Kapalua, where he had a three-shot lead with five holes to play and wound up losing in a playoff to Patrick Reed. It's from last year at Waialae, where he emerged from a five-way tie for the lead by closing with a 63 to win.
