AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Ben'Ary was driving one of his children to soccer practice on an October evening last year when he paused at a red light to check his work phone.

Defending champion Nick Taylor tied for Sony Open lead

AP News HONOLULU (AP) — Defending champion Nick Taylor was sharp with his irons and handled the par 3s at Waialae Country Club for an 8-under 62, giving him a share of the lead Thursday with Kevin Roy as the PGA Tour season started at the Sony Open.

Taylor, who won last year in a playoff, and the early starters caught a break when the wind didn't arrive until the afternoon. Only four...
