LITTLE GOES LONG WAY

Moanalua High School student Tadd Fujikawa became the second-youngest to make a PGA Tour cut and finished tied for 20th last year’s Sony Open in Hawai'i. This year he’s back as a professional.

Even Paul Goydos, the self-deprecating champion of the 2007 Sony Open in Hawai'i, was happy to abdicate the adulation to tiny Tadd Fujikawa last year.

The 5-foot-1 phenom stole the Sony show. The only question in anyone's mind a year later is where the burglary — and deep affection — began for a 16-year-old amateur who became the second-youngest in history to make a PGA Tour cut. See story.

While Paul Goydos wore down Waialae Country Club and the rest of the field to win last year's Sony Open in Hawai'i, what distinguished him most was his "least-likely" persona. See story.

Hawai‘i represented by youth, experience
Maybe it is fate that in this 10th year of the Sony Open in Hawai'i, the Hawai‘i players are basically separated by a decade.

The local list begins with 17-year-old — as of yesterday — Tadd Fujikawa, the Little Big Man of last year's Sony. Punahou senior Alex Ching, also 17, is following in Fujikawa's precocious cleat steps as this year's amateur representative. See story.
