The second signature event of the season continues Friday at the Genesis Invitational, with Round 1 resuming at 7 a.m. local time. Rain led to a 2-hour, 47-minute delay Thursday at Riviera Country Club. The horn blew at 5:41 p.m. PT to suspend play for the day.
Rory McIlroy and Jacob Bridgeman both posted 5-under 66 to share the clubhouse lead. Aaron Rai birdied the 16th hole to reach 6 under, with two holes to finish Friday.
Everyone in the field of 72 players completed at least nine holes. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler continued his opening-round struggles with three bogeys, a double bogey and no birdies through 10 holes. He’s tied for last in the field at 5 over par.
Forty minutes after the first round resumes, Round 2 will begin. Scheffler is slated for a quick turnaround, beginning his second round at 9:33 a.m. PT — and he’ll have some work to do to keep alive his streak of 67 consecutive events without missing a cut.
Unlike last week at Pebble Beach, there is a 36-hole cut in this signature event. The low 50 and ties as well as anyone within 10 shots of the lead will qualify for the final two rounds.
