Highlights from the opening round of the 2026 Genesis Invitational, where weather caused a lengthy suspension, but Rory McIlroy found his way to the top of the leaderboard -- and Scottie Scheffler to the bottom of it.
Scottie Scheffler sits in a tie for last place with Keegan Bradley at the 2026 Genesis Invitational.

It’s the third straight week the world’s top-ranked player struggled in his opening round.
Hovland shot 2-under 69 Thursday at Riviera as he made nice progress with his driver, so much so that trees planted to stop him from playing No. 15 down No. 17 might not be enough.
With first-round play carrying over a day because of inclement weather, Todd Lewis says the PGA Tour is “very confident” Round 2 of the Genesis Invitational will be completed Friday.
Rory McIlroy and Jacob Bridgeman are tied in the clubhouse after shooting 5-under 66s but Aaron Rai has a stroke advantage with two more holes to play Friday morning at Riviera Country Club.
Rory McIlroy talked to Golf Channel’s Todd Lewis after his 5-under 66 in the first round of the 2026 Genesis Invitational. McIlroy said he’s hoping the wind will dry out the course and allow Riviera to play like Riviera can.

The PGA confirmed that Rea Jr., whose two-year term as president expires at the end of the year, was removed from the PGA Tour Inc. board last November.
Top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul and Lydia Ko shot 5-under 67s during the first round at the 2026 Honda LPGA Thailand. They were in a group of 10 players tied for sixth. Nasa Hataoka and Chanettee Wannasaen lead after 18 holes at Siam Country Club Old Course.
