HONOLULU - The wind blew so hard that palm trees looked as though they were made of rubber. The Pacific looked angrier than usual. Some of the sights Thursday at the Sony Open made it clear that playing golf in Hawaii was no vacation.

"Just trying to find something where it's easy to get in play and on the green. It was a grind, which was what last week was, so it was really hard to stay focused. Felt like I didn't do a good job of that to start, but then played pretty well the last 13 or so holes." It was so strong that even with the tee moved forward on the par-3 fourth hole at Waialae so that it played 162 yards, Morikawa still hit 4-iron. It was one of his better shots, 7 feet right of the flag, for birdie.

Patrick Reed, who lost in a playoff to Thomas last week in the Sentry Tournament of Champions, was at 3 under midway through his back before dropping shots from the water and the sand and having to settle for a 69.
