Kizzire's slow start in golf is picking up speed

HONOLULU (AP) — Patton Kizzire never lost his cool even in the midst of a wild week on Oahu he won't soon forget.

He woke up Saturday morning to a push alert about a ballistic missile strike on Hawaii that turned out to be a false alarm.

Kizzire received a text the next morning from the PGA Tour about another strike, this one real, of the labor variety. The camera and audio production crew for Golf Channel walked off the job during the final round of the Sony Open when contract negotiations stalled. While it didn't affect anyone's game, it was no less strange to see so many TV towers that were vacant during the final round at Waialae Country Club.
