   PGA Tour : Genesis Invitational Leaderboard  Tee Times

England's Marco Penge life has been eventful since he won  the DP World Tour Player of the Year, earning dual status on the PGA Tour.

Chris Hyde

After changing from Mizumo, to PXG clubs his wife was sent on ahead to America, heavily pregnant, toting their 2 year old, and moving into their new Florida home in Palm Beach, while Marco was playing in the Middle East, then Torrey Pines with her plight weighing on his mind.

"It's been a bit of a gamble of me, just going to compete while sending her on her own, with no friends or family"

He birdied 5 of his last 7 holes to post 64 and tying a field best -12, 130 along with Texan Jacob Bridgman in much more benign weather on one of America's famous Riviera GC.

Rory is in fine form as usual, 3rd, 66 65 -11 with just 1 bogey in 36 holes. "Thankfully no Pacific Ocean to hit it into, I've played well, controlled my distance's and made a few 8 footers for par on these soft, but fast Poa annua greens.

This signature event worth $3.6million to the winner does have a cut this week which fell at E for the top 50 and ties.

Scheffler caught a break when he was playing so poorly on Thursday he was last in the field +5 thru 10 when darkness fell.

He returned on Friday morning got in at 74 +3 then had a putt curl into the cup, instead of out to on the 18th make the cut on the number with -3 68 E.

Cockerill with the round of the day, 54 hole results Magical Kenya Open

   DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Entry List Tee Times

Overnight rain in Nairobi softened the Karen GC, Aaron Cockerill had the round of the day, one of the best of his career, 7 birdies including 4 in a row, an eagle 3 at the 18th just one bogey for -8 62 up 33 places to T9.

He T2 at this event in 2022.

Edit>>>>>>>

Casey Jarvis shared the lead for the third straight day at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open as he and Angel Ayora went into the final round tied at -17

Spaniard Ayora carded a -6 64, his second of the week, but Jarvis' 66 ensured he stayed locked at the top.

Fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis was a shot behind -16 along with American Davis Bryant, with the top eight on the leaderboard all chasing their maiden win on the DP World Tour.

Ayora went out in 33 with birdies at the second and seventh before a run of three in a row straight after the turn took him to 16 under.

His playing partners Bryant and Du Plessis both birdied the last to join him on that mark before the Spaniard slotted in a four of his own to go one ahead again.

Jarvis was coming down the hole in the group behind and was safely in the fairway off the tee, ultimately also making birdie as his eagle putt came up a foot short.

Jarvis, who shared the lead with Niklas Lemke after day one, with Frederic Lacroix through two rounds and now Ayora, said: "I think I played pretty solid, played the front nine really nicely, just didn't make as many putts as I would have liked. Bit of a shaky tenth hole but brought it back nicely.

"(Ayora's) a fantastic player and I think tomorrow we'll both hopefully push each other and we'll see what happens."

Ayora said: "Well today was a nice round, bogey-free, that's an amazing feeling. I'm playing very good and hope to repeat that tomorrow.

Du Plessis recovered from bogeys at the third and fourth holes to shoot 65, with six birdies on the back nine including each of the last three holes.

Bryant was one better on the day, following Friday's 63 with a 64 to also reach 16 under - the 26-year-old has dropped just two shots in his 54 holes.

Francesco Laporta was on his own at -15 under after a 65 while Nathan Kimsey was the first of the leading pack to complete his round, a bogey-free 64 capped by an exceptional up-and-down at the last to record his sixth birdie of the day and reach -14.

Aaron Cockerill reached -13 with a 62, the low round of the day. The Canadian started on the back nine with three birdies and an eagle then responded to a dropped shot at the third by finishing his day with a run of four birdies

Two man lead, Cockerill T42 Kenya Open...36 hole results

  DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Entry List Tee Times

Frederic Lacroix shot a second-round 62 to share the halfway lead with Casey Jarvis at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

At -13 the pair held a two-shot lead over the field as they attempted to wrestle the limelight from Kenya's Njoroge Kibugu, who delighted the home crowd by making the cut with an eagle at the last.

Jarvis' fellow South African Hennie Du Plessis fired a stunning 61, which would have been a course record had preferred lies not been in play at Karen Country Club, to share third place with Spain's Angel Ayora and Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia on -11

After finishing his opening 65 with an eagle to build momentum, Lacroix had four birdies before the turn and the same again afterwards for a brilliant 62.

He said: "I’m super happy about today. I made a couple of good putts and it was just a solid round off the tee with no mistakes.

"This morning was a bit colder, a bit more humid, so the ball is not going to travel that much. Yesterday evening was very hot and dry, and there’s a few out there that are going to be bad – you just hit it and it never stops.

"It’s one of those where if you miss a shot off the tee, you get in trouble very quickly. I think it’s more managing some holes you can be aggressive, sometimes you can’t, especially with different pins. If you live in the middle of the fairway, you’re going to be alright."

Jarvis looked set to lead on his own after adding seven birdies to the ten he made in his opening 62.

"It’s nice putting myself into these positions. Obviously, I get more comfortable with it. I’ve had two wins on the Sunshine Tour (last November's Hyundai Open and Vodacom Origins of Golf), so I kind of know what the feeling is now."

Francesco Laporta and Davis Bryant were a shot further back at -10 with first-round co-leader Niklas Lemke among the group at -9.

edit >>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill was out in +2 37, but bounced back with a bogey free,3 birdie back nine -1 69 T42 -5.

Rory leads in the wind and rain at Riveria..play suspended...current leaderboard

  PGA Tour : Genesis Invitational Leaderboard  Tee Times

Scott Scheffler is part of the PGA Tour TV promotion saying "I've been practicing since I was 2 or 3 to be able to play golf for a living" yes a ridiculous thing to say,  unless you have a photo of your 2 year old on your local range, however Mother Nature spared him from his temper, postponing his round after 10 holes in dead last place 75th +5 thru 10.

Rory endured the wind and rain and 3 hour delay as well as anyone with -5 66 T1 with Jacob Bridgman in the clubhouse. The greens are so soft approach shots were plugging, darts that made scoring easier.

Aaron Rai was -6 through 16, Ryan Fox is 4th -4 67 to fill the frame while there is a seven player log jam at T5 -3 including Colin Morikawa.

Round 1 scheduled for 7am PT  Round 2 7.25am PT today.

Cockerill surges to 66, Magical Kenya Open..18 hole results

 DP World Tour : Magical Kenya Open Entry List Tee Times

Round 1 is well underway on the Karen GC in Nairobi and the clubhouse leader at -8 62 Swede Niklas Lemke.

edit>>>>>> Casey Jarvis fired ten birdies to share the first-round lead with Niklas Lemke at the 2026 Magical Kenya Open presented by absa.

The South African was among the later starters at Karen Country Club in Nairobi and fired a superb -8 62 to match Lemke's earlier effort.

Scotland's David Law and Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat were one stroke off the lead at -7 63

Jarvis bogeyed his opening hole but bounced back in some style with six birdies in his next seven as he went out in 30.

He said: "I’m super pleased with the round. I started off with a bogey and thought it wasn’t going to be the best day, but I turned it around pretty quickly and pleased with what I shot.

"I came into the week saying I should be really aggressive, and I think I was pretty aggressive off the tees. I hit the driver nicely and I took advantage of that.

"Around a course like this, I think if you’re on with your driver, you can shoot pretty low. I think being aggressive on a course like this does suit me in a way.

"It’s tough to look ahead of what can happen, so I just stay present and in the moment. Whatever happens, happens."

Lemke finished with an eagle to cap off a flawless round - which began in understated fashion with just two birdies on the front nine.

The Swede made gains at alternate holes on the back nine, birdieing the tenth, 12th, 14th and 16th before a beautiful approach to the last set up a tap-in eagle.

"I think I’ve shot eight under before but not a 62, so I’m pleased with that," he said afterwards. I like these kinds of golf courses. They are a little short, old school, tricky. You have to think your way around it a little bit. I enjoy being here."

Lemke's fellow Swedes Joakim Lagergren and Mikael Lindberg were in a group at -6 64 alongside American Ryggs Johnston, Spaniard Angel Ayora and Portugal's Ricardo Gouveia.

Defending champion Jacques Kruyswijk was -3 after a 67 that featured hole-outs at the second and third, the former for an eagle out of a bunker and the latter for a birdie.

edit>> Canada's Aaron Cockerill was in the late wave not having played in 3 weeks as he and wife Chelsea welcomed their 2nd daughter Tegan on January 31st. 

He went off the 10th with 4 straight pars but back to back bogey's at 14, 15 saw him at +2. However he bounced right back with birdies at 16 &17, then got on a roll with 4 birdies on his inward nine for -4 66 T16.
