Golf: Harman leads at Sony

One week after Brian Harman shared the 36-hole lead at Kapalua, he ran off three straight birdies and closed with a 15-foot eagle for a 7-under 63 and a 3-shot lead over five others going into the weekend of the Sony Open in Honolulu.

Harman was at 13-under 127 and led Zach Johnson (67), John Peterson (64), Tom Hoge (65), Chris Kirk (67) and Talor Gooch (66) . . . .

Rory McIlroy said he has a heart ailment that will have to be monitored regularly but is not expected to affect his play. McIlroy will make his 2018 debut next week in Abu Dhabi.
