Notes from Kapalua
By Doug Ferguson
Associated Press
KAPALUA — For the first time, every player at the Mercedes-Benz Championship was on the early commitment list for the Sony Open next week in Honolulu. That changed Tuesday when Adam Scott decided not to play. ... Joe LaCava is on the bag this week for Davis Love III. LaCava is the regular caddie for Fred Couples, who does not plan to start his season until the Bob Hope Classic. ... Stuart Appleby is wearing Kapalua brand shirts this week. His deal with Ashworth ended last year, and his new clothing contract is not complete.
STAT OF THE WEEK: Only seven of the 34 players at the Mercedes-Benz Championship have won a major.
