J.J. Spaun takes the lead at Sony Open with a wide-open chase in the wind of Waialae

J.J. Spaun got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 18th hole Saturday for a 5-under 65, the final birdie giving him a one-shot lead at the Sony Open going into a final round where more than a dozen players remain in the mix. Spaun mixed bogeys with birdies over the final four holes at windy Waialae, the dropped shots costing him and Patrick Fishburn a chance to create some separation. Stephen Jaeger, the German best known as the only player to beat Scottie Scheffler in the Houston Open during Scheffler's most dominant stretch last year, had nine birdies in a 62 and wasn't sure where that would leave him when he finished.
