Friday Coverage | Waste Management Phoenix Open

SCOTTSDALE - Play was suspended due to darkness at 6:23pm (local) with eight players yet to complete the first round. Those players will be back in position at 8am (local)/10am (ET) today, with the second round beginning as scheduled.

At 7-under thru only 16 holes Sahith Theegala, playing on a sponsor exemption, currently holds a one-stroke lead over clubhouse leader K.H. Lee.

Lee holds the clubhouse lead following a 6-under (65), highlighted by a birdie-eagle-birdie stretch on Nos. 2-4. Lee is in search of his first Top-10 finish since the 3M Open (T-6) in 2021 and second PGA Tour title (2021 AT&T Byron Nelson).

World No. 1 and Arizona State graduate Jon Rahm opened with a bogey-free (67)

The top three players on the final leaderboard from 2021 are currently T-7 or better during the first round. Chances are, they’ll be knocking on the door come Sunday.
