Kevin Na Wins The Sony Open In Hawaii, Chris Kirk Earns PGA Tour Status (1/18)

Kevin Na is victorious in Hawaii, we breakdown just how impressive this win is and the elite company it puts him near. Chris Kirk has earned PGA Tour status coming off a major medial exemption, we talk about his story and what his ceiling is this season. Joaquin Niemann didn’t hoist a trophy over the last two weeks, but we can all agree he won the Hawaii swing right? We expect big things out of the young Chilean this year. We also look ahead to the American Express, with Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler and Francesco Molinari playing in La Quinta, what are out expectations for next week? We wrap with a recap of our betting cards and One & Done plays, can anyone catch up to Mark Immelman?!?!
