Justin Thomas and Adam Scott shared the lead at 10-under par in the second round of the PGA Tour's Genesis Open on Friday after the day's play was suspended at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, U.S., due to another day of heavy rain.

The first day saw none of the players was able to complete the first round due to bad weather and as a result of that the field was making up for lost time on Friday.

Thomas and Scott had a matching 66s in their first rounds while JB Holmes carded a 63 to storm into the lead at the end of the opening round with Thursday's leader Jordan Spieth was one shot behind.

Thomas had seven birdies with two bogeys through 12 holes of his second round before the horn was blown.

Australian Scott clinched six birdies and got a bogey through 11.

However, the shot of the day belonged to Holmes as he grabbed the par-three sixth during the first round.

Tiger Woods, the organizer of the tournament, was able to wrap up a 70 in the first round with a 43-foot eagle putt on the par-five first.

However, he subsequently slowed down with back-to-back bogeys and was tied for 55th place. The former world No. 1 is still in the danger zone as he is staring at missing the cut.
