HONOLULU – Jonathan Byrd returned to the PGA Tour this season after a year on the Web.com Tour, a detour that he said rejuvenated him because he was able to play more rounds with younger talents.

He also gets that same feeling when he plays with his son, Jackson, and he admitted this week at the Sony Open that those rounds with the 11-year-old are more competitive then you might imagine.

Byrd explained that during the offseason he practiced at the Madison Club in La Quinta, Calif. During a practice round, he paired with Jackson to take on Tour winners Brandt Snedeker and Scott Brown.
