Langley debuts with 62 at Sony

HONOLULU (AP) ― Scott Langley made a rookie debut on the PGA Tour he won’t soon forget.

Russell Henley wasn’t too shabby, either.

Langley thrived on a penetrating ball flight and a pure putting stroke Thursday for an 8-under 62, giving him a one-shot lead over Henley in the first round of the Sony Open. Henley played in the same group as Langley, and they put on quite a show at Waialae Country Club.

Henley made five birdies on the back nine, holing 15-footers with confidence. But the Georgia grad couldn’t keep on the par-5 18th hole when his chip from short of the green came out hot and he had to settle for a two-putt par from 30 feet.

Langley played bogey-free in a steady wind and made a couple of long putts.
