Sony Open 2022: Full payouts as Hideki Matsuyama picks up $1.3m
Sony Open 2022: Hideki Matsuyama picks up the first prize with a stunning performance. Here are the full payouts from Honolulu.
Russell Henley missed out on a further $532,500 this weekend when he lost out to Hideki Matsuyama at the Sony Open.
Yet that won't really matter to him as for the sixth time he has held a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour he has only converted once.
One of his three PGA Tour wins came - incidentally - at the Sony Open in 2013 when he won by three strokes.
Henley had a five-stroke lead last week with nine holes to play and it looked locked up. But Hideki Matsuyama took issue with this.

Matsuyama caught him on the 18th with a birdie then stiffed and absolute belting 3-wood from 277 yards in the first play-off hole.
Game, set and match to the Masters champion who provided an exhilirating finish.
"I struggle to sleep, I'm already not the best sleeper," Henley said on Saturday evening prior to the final round.
There's probably a few sleepless nights ahead for the 32-year-old.
Matsuyama claimed his third victory in nine months. He's also in the top-10 of the world rankings and leads the FedEx Cup points race.
Oh, and he also won $1,350,000.
