Wyndham Clark also demonstrated strong play, setting up a birdie opportunity with a precise 218-yard tee shot.
A Hot Streak Extends to the Sony Open
The momentum from the Farmers Insurance Open carried over into the Sony Open, where McNealy continued to impress. Over several days, he consistently converted birdie opportunities, including a 5-foot putt on the 10th, a tap-in from 3 inches on the 9th, and a 3-foot setup on the 6th. His precision extended to longer putts as well, sinking a 25-foot putt on the 11th for his fifth consecutive birdie.
