Calmer winds turn Sunday at Kapalua into 'birdie-fest'
KAPALUA, Hawaii In Maui, its all about the winds.The Plantation Course has some the widest fairways and largest greens on the PGA Tour primarily because of the winds that buffet the layout, like those that gusted to 35 mph for the first three days at this years Sentry Tournament of Champions.Sunday was a different story, with the wind switching directions and calming considerably. The benign conditions led to predictably lower scores for the final round.The scoring average on Sunday dropped to 69.72, compared to averages for the first three days that hovered above 71, and just a single player in the field (Francesco Molinari) shot over par on Sunday.

Its just so easy. Its wide open fairways, soft greens and you have irons into every par 5, so you have four birdies right there, said Justin Thomas, who closed with a 65 to finish in third place. Its all about the wind. Jordan [Spieth] shot 30 under [in 2016], and Im sure it wasnt windy that week.Xander Schauffele won the event after starting the final day five strokes off the lead with a nearly historic performance. Schauffeles 12-footer for eagle at the last slid by the edge of the hole, and he tapped in for birdie and a closing 62, which tied the course record.It turned into a birdie-fest coming down the stretch, said Schauffele after the lowest round of his PGA Tour career.
