\"SonyNot much has changed from last years Sony Open in Hawaii<\/a> Last year the big question was “Will Michelle Wie make the cut?” this year it’s the same question but with a twist, “Will Michelle Wie make the cut and is she worth the 10 million?” After making a disappointing professional debut by being DQ’ed at the Samsung World Championship<\/a>, she is looking to make a statement especially in front of her home town crowd.<\/p>\n

Vijay Singh is also looking to make a statement of his own by successfully defending his title at the Sony Open in Hawaii.<\/a> Last year he won the event while ranked the #1 player in the world and it was the first win of his four win season. Now we’ll have to see if last week’s playoff loss at the Mercedes Championship<\/a> has shaken his confidence.
\n
\nWe’re starting to see a trend with Vijay’s final rounds in Hawaii, last week we saw a valient effort by Vijay when he posted a final round 66 to finish -8 and force a playoff and last year we saw a dramatic finish by Singh having never held the lead the whole week until he shot a 65 to finish -11 and win. So we’ll have to turn in and see if Vijay will use that same finishing magic to defend his title this week.<\/p>\n
