Weekly 18: Golf's unusual week in Hawaii ends with lesson in perseverance

What a strange week at the Sony Open.

It began with Jordan Spieth making an uncharacteristic quadruple-bogey, found PGA Tour players taking cover after a false-alarm missile launch and seemingly wouldn't end, as it took Patton Kizzire six playoff holes to defeat James Hahn.
