The Start Of The 2013 Season

Finally Official play got underway today at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Kapalua, Hawaii.

The windswept championship be gain play just over an hour ago. They have seen up to 60 mph winds completely unplayable for the tour pro.

However the players playing who would consider them serious major championship contenders could consider this a chance to get some British Open wind practice before the open as it always seems to be too windy for the Americans to make a play for the Claret Jug.

Rickie Fowler made the first birdie of the 2013 season with a birdie on number 2 of the plantation course. Theoretically, Webb Simpson made the first birdie as on day one,  Friday he was -3 through 7 but that was cancelled as the tournament was postponed until today.

This is a sight I have never seen before, Fowler is also sporting a rather blue Sunday outfit compared to the usual bright Orange get up he usually goes for.

It has been an intriguing start to the Pga Tour this season and let's hope it continues in this fashion for another while.

The next tournament is the Sony open in Hawaii, that will be fun.
