Best of the West

Kevin Na’s 72nd-hole drama in Hawaii points PGA Tour toward mainland for West Coast Swing, which will be missing key player

“In the Grill Room” makes its 2021 debut with one eye on the PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing and another on the growing COVID-19 pandemic in California. Co-hosts Bob Bubka and Jay Randolph Jr. review last week’s Sony Open in Hawaii, which Kevin Na won with a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole for his fifth PGA Tour victory. Then, the “Grill Room” guys preview the start of a five-week run on the West Coast. One casualty of the upcoming events in the West: Tiger Woods, who underwent his fifth back surgery and now likely will be pointing toward the Masters.
