A windy day in Honolulu saw waialae Country Club show some teeth in Friday’s second round of teh sony Open, with tougher scoring conditions condensing the top of the leaderboard and sending some big names home early.
After yielding a pair of 62s on Thursday, the best anyone coudl do on Friday was a 64, with Davis Riley firing a 6-under second round to surge into a share of the lead and Ryan Gerard matched him for low round of the day to climb into the top 10. Riley credited a hot putter and an improved ball-striking day for moving him into a tie on top of the leaderboard, even with a penalty stroke in his round.
“Today I putted really well,but I definitely hit the ball a little bit better today,” Riley said. “It maybe wasn’t even better, I just didn’t have as manny crazy shots as yesterday. I had a penalty stroke off the tee yesterday,which really cost me and felt like I lost a lot of momentum there. Overall the ball striking was a little cleaner and continued some of that good putting.”
On the other end of the spectrum was Collin Morikawa, as the No. 17 player in the Official World Golf Rankings could only manage a 68 on friday to finish at even par for the week, one shot short of the cut line. As so frequently enough happens with Morikawa, it was the putter that let him down. Morikawa missed a few short putts on his back nine, including a 6-footer for birdie on No. 18 to make the cut.
A missed cut in the season opener that doesn’t feature many of the game’s elite is an extremely arduous way for Morikawa to begin what he hopes is a bounce-back season after a tough second half of 2025. He still appears to be searching for the form that made him a two-time major champion and won’t get the kind of confidence boost expected from a Sony Open start.
Morikawa wasn’t alone in struggling with the wind on Friday, and will find some company from a few other notable names who will also be looking for an early flight home — most notably Keegan Bradley, who also finished his week at even par.
Jordan Spieth did make the cut, as he aims for a rebound season himself, and he highlighted the challenge of the conditions on Friday after his round, a second consecutive 68 that moves him comfortably into the weekend at 4 under.
“I hit a 7-iron into that 15th hole. I had maybe 158 hole and I think it went 120 yards and I played it like 175,” Spieth explained. “So it was just very challenging at times. And on the greens it just becomes really hard to make putts when it’s that windy.”
Thanks to those conditions, things bunched up considerably and when the third round gets underway, plenty of players will believe they’re still in contention to win the opening event of the 2026 PGA Tour season.
