Sony Open: Korea’s An Finishes Second For Fifth Time; Consistent Indian-American Bhatia Is Thirteenth
Byeong Hun An: It was another close finish for Korea’s Byeong Hun An who finished runner-up for the fifth time on the PGA Tour, as he lost in a three-way play-off at the US$8.3 million Sony Open in Hawaii.
The 32-year-old An closed the week with a stellar 6-under 64 at Waialae Country Club in Honolulu for a 17-under total. That got him into a three-man playoff with Keegan Bradley (67) and eventual winner, Grayson Murray (67). As An missed a four-footer to extend the play-off, Murray buried a 38-foot birdie putt in extra time to claim his second career victory.
Indian-American Akshay Bhatia continued his steady run as he logged his second Top-15 finish with his eighth successive under par round. After finishing T-14 at The Sentry, he was T-14 and he was T-13 at the Sony Open.
