The opening round of 62 was just enough so that the Englishman Paul Casey can have enough leader board points so that he can reach the leader at that time, Jackpot Bet Online Webb Simpson. At the Waialae Country Club they both managed to shoot eight rounds of under 62 to be tied on the first position in the first round of the Hawaii, PGA Sony Open tour in Honolulu. The 37 years old English men Pau Casey has had a bad start at the tournament allowing Webb Simpson to gain the lead in the early holes after successfully putting the birdies where they belong – something that Paul Casey found hard to do at the opening shots.

Just after the third hole, Jackpot Bet Online Paul started playing his game again where he hit a 12 yard shot followed by a great distance shot that made him eligible to compete for the first spot before the round ended.
