HONOLULU — David Toms set a course record with a 9-under 61 and it still wasn’t enough to take the lead Saturday in the Sony Open in Hawaii, which has turned into a two-man race between Toms and the equally hot Chad Campbell.
Toms looked as dominant as he was a year ago winning the World-Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship, even if it felt as if it was all he could do to keep up with Campbell.
Toms finally caught him with a two-putt birdie on the 18th, setting the tournament record at Waialae Country Club since it changed to a par 70 in 1999. Davis Love III still has the course record of 12-under 60 in 1994.
“I was just trying to keep up,” Toms said. “I made a couple of putts I wasn’t supposed to make, but that’s what you do when you have a hot round.”
