Early tie at Sony Open

HONOLULU — Webb Simpson made his debut with a conventional putter Thursday at the Sony Open and might have wished he had used one sooner. One year away from the new rule that outlaws anchored strokes, Simpson ditched his belly putter for a regular one for his 2015 debut and ran off eight birdies over his last 10 holes for an 8-under 62 that gave him a share of the early lead with Paul Casey. On a day that made the 144 players feel they were in paradise, Simpson and Casey led a morning of low scoring.
