Eckroat, An, and Yuan Lead Sony Open in Hawaii

Carl Yuan's participation enabled by Jon Rahm's move to LIV Golf

Austin Eckroat, Byeong Hun An, and Carl Yuan share the lead at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
Yuan, who was 5 under for the day, earned full playing status for the 2024 season when Jon Rahm signed with LIV Golf, moving Yuan from 126th in the FedEx Cup standings to 125th.
Eckroat, 24, is seeking his first career PGA Tour win in his 45th start, while An, 32, is winless in 181 career prior starts.
Gary Woodland and Will Zalatoris, both returning from surgeries, missed the cut at the Sony Open.
Stewart Cink, the 50-year-old who is splitting time between the PGA Tour and the PGA Tour Champions, is one shot behind the leaders.
