Tadd Fujikawa and First Round Sony Open Results
Thursday, January 14th, 2010An uncommon theme at the Sony Open… Tradewinds. The last few years, it’s been nothing but Kona winds causing the par 70 course to play tricks on the contenders, even the locals have had trouble. But not this weekend, tradewinds are back and here to stay.
So where is Tadd Fujikawa? Well, not bad, not great. On what would most likely be the cusp of elimination, he’ll need a solid 2nd day to make it to the weekend. Shooting a 2 over 72, seven behind the 6 leaders all making it into the clubhouse at 5 under par. He’s in with the likes of Stuart Appleby and Justin Rose, all tied for 84th place.
Making it through nine at even par, the front nine (Tadd started on the back nine) cause trouble as it did with most starting out on the front nine. Fujikawa will tee off around mid-day and will likely be followed by a large crowd of people as they try and catch a glimpse of the young PGA pro playing on his home turf at.
