Professional golfers participating in the WM Phoenix Open are currently competing for a prize purse of $8.8 million. This event, which dates back to 1932 and was previously known as the FBR Open, has now reached the end of its second day.
Due to unfavorable weather conditions, the organizers had to suspend the second round, leaving several players yet to begin their game at the 1st hole. As a result, the current leaderboard will undergo significant changes, but still offers some noteworthy insights.
Leading the pack are Nick Taylor from Canada and Andrew Novak from the United States. Both players have an impressive score of -12 (130 strokes) and hold a two-stroke advantage over Maverick McNealy from the US.
In fourth place, we have Doug Ghim with a score of -9. This 27-year-old golfer from Las Vegas will need to complete the final two holes of the second round tonight in order to narrow the gap with the leaders. Ryan Fox from Australia, along with Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, and Cameron Young from the US, are all tied for fifth place with a score of -8.
The tournament takes place on a par 71 course at TPC Scottsdale in Scottsdale, Arizona. Charley Hoffman, Kurt Kitayama, Sam Burns, and Daniel Berger from the US, along with Jhonattan Vegas from Venezuela, complete the top ten with a score of -7.
Vegas was halted at the 16th hole and will have to finish his second round. One of the standout performers of the day is Sam Stevens from the US, who climbed an impressive 29 positions with a round score of -5. He now sits in 14th place with an overall score of -6.
The leaderboard is still incomplete, with players like Sahith Theegala, who was in second place with a score of -6 after the first round, yet to finish their entire round. The interruption in play also affects the battle to avoid elimination, as several participants will resume their journey at 15:30 Italian time.
In order to align with the final and decisive round scheduled for Sunday, there will be a significant schedule adjustment in Phoenix. The PGA Tour, an organization that hosts major professional golf tours in the United States, is headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach, a suburb of Jacksonville, Florida. The official name of the organization is written in all capital letters as “PGA TOUR”.
