TEE TIMES: Justin Thomas is back to defend his title at the Sony Open

January 10, 2018

Late-night golf (for those on the East Coast) is back for one more week.

The Sony Open concludes the PGA Tour’s Hawaii swing, and last year’s champ and player of the year Justin Thomas is back to defend his title. Thomas opened with a 59 last year — becoming the youngest on Tour to ever reach the number — and cruised to a seven-shot victory to sweep the Tour’s Hawaiian events. Thomas will also use a high-profile fill-in caddie this week in Jim “Bones” Mackay. His regular caddie, Jimmy Johnson, is out with plantar fasciitis. Thomas’s dad, Mike, caddied for him last week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
