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. Thomas, facing the prospect of playing 33-plus holes on Sunday, noted that the forecast also called for more rain and brisk winds. “Made a couple of putts,” said Woods, whose struggles this week on the greens included four three-putts in the first round. “It’s going to be a tough day for all of us and one that we’re going to have to fight through.”(AFP)
