Jim Furyk won the Sony Open in 1996 at 25 years old and now 26 years later, in Round 1 of the same event, he turned back the clock in a big way while playing on a sponsor's exemption.

Despite starting his first PGA Tour round since March 2021 three-putting for bogey, the 51-year-old turned in a front nine 32 with four birdies and didn't stop there. Furyk sank a 25-foot birdie putt - identical to what he did on No.
