Howell III shows why he's the man at Waialae
Jan. 10, 2013 - 5:20 PM ET

Charles Howell III grabbed the early share of the clubhouse lead at the Sony Open in Hawaii with a 4-under-par 32-34=66 in his opening round.

With six top fives in 11 appearances, none of which resulted in a missed cut, he's one of the most popular one-and-done choices this week. CH3 hit 14 greens in regulation and erased one late bogey (at the par-4 eighth hole) with five birdies. The set included respective gems from 19'6" and 19'11" at the 14th and sixth holes.
