McKINNEY, Texas (AP) --- The Byron Nelson has resumed after a six-hour weather
delay with Scottie Scheffler halfway through his second round and still holding
the two-shot lead that the hometown favorite had to start the day.
Play was halted Friday morning shortly after Scheffler made a 10-foot eagle
putt on the par-5 18th hole to get to 12-under and break a tie with another
University of Texas alum, Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela.
The event was stopped because of lightning before drenching, hours-long rain
hit the TPC Craig Ranch course for the second time in three days.
Scheffler opened with a 10-under 61 on Thursday and had parred his first eight
holes of the second round starting on the back nine. His approach on 18 landed
within a few feet of the pin and settled above the hole.
Patton Kizzire and Will Gordon, who both opened with 64s, were 2 under for the
day and three shots behind Scheffler when the weather delay hit.
Rico Hoey, the early first-round leader who was tied with Vegas at 8 under to
start the second round, had an afternoon tee time. Defending champion Taylor
Pendrith was 2 over for the day through eight holes and 2 under for tournament
and in danger of missing the cut.
