Maruyama finished tied for seventh at 11-under at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
ANALYSIS
Among the crowd favorites, Maruyama finished his streaky weekend with a top-10 finish. He lit up the scoreboard with 22 birdies (the most of anyone in the tournament), but also had 11 total bogeys (T7). Maruyama could have run away with the tournament if he hit a few more greens. He was second in PPG, averaging 1.63, and T1 in PPR with 26.8 but only hit 61 percent of Wailae’s greens.
