Russell Knox shoots a 64 to be T4 at Honolulu

Russell Knox shot a six-under-par 64 to  be joint fourth in a field of 144 behind the in-form Justin Thomas who joined the "59 Club" with an 11-under-par 18-hole score in the first round of the Sony Open at Honolulu, Hawaii where the temperature on a mostly cloudy day was 75  degrees Fahrenheit.
Knox had birdies at the eighth, ninth, 10th, 12th, 13th, 15th and 18th in halves of 33 (2 under) and 31 (4 under).
The Florida-based, Inverness-born Scot had one bogey, at the 14th.
Justin Rose is T21 with a 69 but Paul Casey had a disastrous day with a three-over 73 which left him languishing in T142 position.
