Fore Things: Spieth, Kaufman get waved

HONOLULU – Justin Thomas extended his lead at the Sony Open, following his historic 59 on Thursday with a 64 that set a new 36-hole PGA Tour scoring record (123) for a five-stroke advantage heading into the weekend.

Although Thomas continued to dominate the conversation at Waialae Country Club, there were plenty of other notables on Day 2 in Hawaii.

Smylie and Jordan’s excellent adventure almost didn’t end well, with Kaufman and Spieth sparking a social media furor with their fishing and paddling exploits after their rounds on Thursday.

Kaufman and Spieth were spotted adjacent to Waialae paddling out into the ocean in a two-person kayak and Golf Channel caught the duo trying to catch a wave that sent both players, and fishing poles, sprawling.
