Mandatory Credit: Kiyoshi Mio-Imagn Images The first round of the Genesis Invitational was suspended on Thursday because of inclement weather in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Players were pulled off the course at Riviera Country Club after the horn sounded at 10:13 a.m. PT. Steady rain is expected through Noon local time.
"It's not a dangerous situation, but it is just too much water on the greens. We're losing greens left and right," PGA Tour rules official Orlando Pope said during the PGA Tour Live broadcast.
Akshay Bhatia was at 3-under-par through six holes while Rory McIlroy, Pebble Beach Pro-Am winner Collin Morikawa and Ryan Gerard each sat one stroke back through three holes.
