Genesis Open

McIlroy enjoyed a close-up view of Woods' game over the first two rounds as they were grouped together along with reigning FedExCup champion Justin Thomas at Riviera Country Club.

Woods produced a similar performance to Torrey Pines last month as he struggled to find the fairways with his driver, and although his short game bailed him out several times on day one, he was unable to save par on eight holes in a disappointing 76 that left him four shots adrift of the cut line.

Heavy rain and strong winds affected most of Friday's action and worsened as the second round progressed, with play suspended at 12.08pm local time (8.08pm UK time).

Vegas was four under for the day after 14 holes when the horn was sounded, joining overnight leader Sam Saunders - yet to start his round - at the top of the leaderboard on seven under.

Cameron Percy holds the clubhouse lead at five under after posting a level-par 71, with Jordan Spieth also part of the group two strokes off the pace with two holes to play.
