"Similar to the Bethpage Golf Course on Long Island, New York, Riviera rewards smart decisions over sheer power. The opening round was suspended due to darkness following a mid-afternoon rain delay. Aaron Ria leads at 6under par after 16 holes with the rest of his round being finished out early Friday morning. Jacob Bridgeman and Rory McIlroy are tied at 5-under at the completion of their opening round."
"McIlroy sits as a prime option for an outright win following a 5-under 66 on Thursday after navigating difficult weather and a delayed start to his outing. Bridgeman, Si Woo Kim and Collin Morikawa were dealt similar hands and all found themselves near the top of the leaderboard near the start of action on Friday.
