Genesis Open hit by bad weather

– Justin Thomas eagled the first hole of the third round on Saturday to open a one-shot lead over Adam Scott at the rain-hit Genesis Open, where Tiger Woods was surging as darkness halted play.

Thomas and Australia’s Scott shared the 36-hole lead on 11-under par after both completed six-under par 65s in the rain-delayed second round.

Organisers were pushing to complete an event that lost seven hours to a rain delay on Thursday. – AFP
