PGA Tour : Genesis Invitational Tee Times
Friday the conditions at Torrey Pines were more manageable, the low score of the day a -6 66 by the in form American leader Davis Thompson at -8, but he has 4 players who are the shakers on the PGA Tour right now.
2nd Scottie Scheffler scrambled to 67 -7, Denny McCarthy 68 70 -6, Rory 72 67 -5 moved up 10 places to 4th and Ludvig Aberg who lost 8 pounds with a stomach virus 74 66 -4 have all been in contention most of this early 2025 season.
The 72 man field saw the cut fall at +4 for the top 54 players, guys like Jordan Spieth, Billy Horschel, out of form Max Homa, Victor Hovland and Justin Rose will have the weekend off.
Four Canadians made the cut.
Nick Taylor T24 74 71 +1
Corey Conners T34 72 74 +2
Mac Hughes T42 74 73 +3
Taylor Pendrith T48 74 74 +4
Adam Hadwin couldn't recover from the opening 83 and missed the cut at +10
note ***** This year there is now a cut at player hosted signature events like this one hosted by Tiger, and others, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Jack's Memorial to ensure the top players are competing all weekend attracting more viewers and raising the level of competition. The others will still have no cut.
WEATHER : The wind has gone, 7mph, the rain has gone, temperature under mainly sunny skies in the mid 60's*f and a tough Torrey Pines will continue to dry out, so expect overall scoring by this elite field to improve over the next 2 days.
The PGA Tour has what it wants with their two biggest stars, Rory in great form after 4th in Dubai and a win last week at Pebble, and Scheffler who drove the ball all over the course yesterday but scrambled his way into contention both in prime time TV.
