Spectators following Patrick Reed's pairing on Thursday, during the first round of the HyundaiTournament of Champions, might have felt a strong case of dj vu wash over themas Reed the defending champion jumped out to an Matt Skura Jersey early lead.Reed's bogey-free, 8-under 65 was highlighted by an amazing eagle on the 663-yard 18th hole. The eagle capped a 6-under finish on his final six holes to soar back into the same spot in which he left the tournament last year.MORE: "I have a ton of confidence, especially after winning here last year," Reed said,, before his round Thursday. "This course really fits my eye, and I've worked really hard this offseason to get more comfortable hitting the ball not only righttoleft, but also leftto Jaylon Ferguson Jersey right. And I think a lot of the succe s I had at the end of last year had to do with me gaining confidence with those shots."The succe s Reed alluded tocomes in the Nick Boyle Jersey form of six straight top 10s to end 2015, highlighted by runner-up finishes at the BMW Masters and Hero World Challenge. And judging by Reed's scintillating back nine at thePlantation Course at Kapalua, it appears his fine form has carried into the New Year.Right behind Reedis his first-round playing partner,Jordan Spieth. Like Reed, Spieth recorded a bogey-free round Thursday.But Mark Andrews Jersey the 22-year-old phenom had to "settle" for a birdie on the final hole and finish with a 7-under 66.Spieth also had a stellar fall, finishing in the top seven in all three of his late-season starts.But don't let the low scores Morgan Cox Jersey and breathtaking views fool you, this course can get tough in a hurry if the windpicks up. Brandt Snedeker, Danny Lee and J.B. Holmes are alltied for third at 6 under, adding to a crowded leaderboard, yet anyone under par should still be considered in contention.Spieth and Reed will be paired together again Friday, so expectfireworks as these two stars continue to fire at pins.
