The first round of the Sony Open in Hawaii ended for most players after a suspension of the tournament at the end of the day. For now, Matthieu Pavon is off to a strong start, 7th at -4 while Paul Barjon and Martin Trainer are above par. Australian Cam Davis is the leader at -8.
The year 2024 is off to a good start for Matthieu Pavon. After a successful 2023, the former European Tour player now a player on the American circuit makes a remarkable entrance for his first tournament on Hawaiian soil. The Bordelais landed his place in the top 10 after returning a card of 66 (-4) by making 3 birdies, a bogey and an eagle on his 18th hole to finish in the best possible way. The 31-year-old displays his ambitions on the PGA Tour by successfully returning to the greens.
The native of Toulouse is accompanied, among others, by the recent winner of the Sentry, the American Chris Kirk in 7th position.
As for the two other players of the French clan, Paul Barjon and Martin Trainer, the start is less explosive. The Franco-American did not have the chance to finish his first round, stopped one hole from the end. Martin Trainer is therefore, for the moment, 107th at +2. His compatriot got to the end of his day by finishing in 122nd position at +3.
