San Diego – Davis Thompson leads the Genesis Invitational on Friday with the linebacker of Torrey Pines and the Birdie. Scottie Scheffler had an unusually crazy day on the tee, just right after that.
It set up a fascinating weekend in this $20 million autograph event, with two names standing out from the ranking pages – Scheffler, despite only hitting five fairways, Rory McIlroy showed bobby-free The performance, while Rory McIlroy showed off his victory at Pebble’s Form Beach two weeks ago.
Thompson scored just two pars in the last nine games, and a wedge-footed Birdie and an under-66 66 were good for Scheffler’s one-shot lead.
“We’re halfway through and a lot of golf,” Thompson said. “Yes, just want to stay in my own driveway.”
Scheffler delayed the start of the year with a hand injury, and he didn’t always seem to look so comforting in the more pleasant weather on the Pacific cliffs.
He hit the twelfth tee twice. The first was a 50-yard chip shot back to the 11th green, getting free relief from the shots on his three-and-three-and-straight T-shirt.
He had a bunker right gun, which was on the right side of the fourth fairway, and had to bend his right leg to avoid falling into the sand. He has another par there. On the seventh time, after missing his left hand again on the left, he had to kick his right leg on the lower right leg to make it hard to muscle. This discovers the simple standard of green.
He also shot a bunker shot for Eagle on the 5-shot six and converted the other three birdies to 67 rounds, which brought him into the final group.
“I love seeing that,” Schaffler said of his ability to score on the day when the batting wasn’t up to standard. “I feel like those short tactile lenses are always the last ones to come back after a longer stopover. It makes these feel happy.”
He then headed to the series for a quick meeting with the driver.
Thompson won the championship for the first time in John Deere’s classic last year, with his score below 136 and will compete with Scheffler on Saturday.
Denny McCarthy paired McIlroy with 70 holes in the last hole.
McIlroy crossed five of the 10 opening holes with five shots until he had some problems with holes that were hard to recover. He gathered with a pair of birdies, but his regret was that he only hit 5 shots with one bird.
“I shot a lot of really good shots. I played very well in most cases. I shot very well,” McIlroy said, leaving only three shots for his 67. “I just didn’t take advantage of 5-5. …Look, I made up for it elsewhere, which is good. But I know I’m going to have to get a better 5-5-shot to get into the weekend.”
A signature event hosted by a player – Tiger Woods held at the Genesis Invitational, although he did not compete this week – with a 36-hole cut in the top 50 and tie. Sepp Straka includes the win in the California Desert and leads the FedEx Cup and Jordan Spieth, who finished fourth in the Phoenix Open last week .
Max Homa is also missing a layoff, not entering the weekend in three games he played in the 36-hole cutoff this year.
Scheffler isn’t the only player who works hard. Thompson fell on the tenth hole (the 10th hole). He cut for the birdie in the next two holes, birdie back on 13-5, and then bobogey and chuckled the next two holes.
But his 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole of the 3rd put him back on track, and his advantage was to cut for the first time in the 18th inning to help him spin some of the wedges from the wedge he hit.
Among the chasers is LudvigÅberg, who longs to return to Torrey Pines. He shot 66 shots and earned a leading four shots in his favorite meat course. The stomach virus Aberg tried to play with three weeks ago was annoying, which caused him to withdraw from Pebble Beach after the first round.
Aberg and Patrick Rodgers are 140 years old, the latter is 71 years old.
