Genesis Invitational Round 3 Tee Times at Riviera

Rory McIlroy has set up a golden chance to win his first Genesis Invitational at Riviera this weekend. 

McIlroy fired a composed 65 on Friday to move to 11-under par and one shot off the pace, currently set by big-hitting Englishman Marco Penge and in-form American Jacob Bridgeman, who both went one better with superb rounds of 64. 

Penge and Bridgeman, who find themselves at 12-under par after 36 holes, are both going in pursuit of a first PGA Tour title. 

McIlroy, meanwhile, is looking for a landmark 30th PGA Tour title and his first ever at Riviera. 

The grand slam champion has incredibly yet to mark a score of five down on his card this week. 

Two-time major champion Xander Schauffele and former Masters champion and two-time Riviera winner Adam Scott are also in the mix at 9-under par. 

Other players inside the top 10 include Min Woo Lee, Max Greyserman, Tommy Fleetwood, Matt Fitzpatrick, Wyndham Clark and Kurt Kitayama.

Scottie Scheffler made a clutch par save on the 18th hole from eight feet to make the cut on the number at level par.

The runaway World No.1 opened with a lethargic 74 but he bounced back with a 68 to make the weekend and keep his impressive cut streak alive. 

But Scheffler has it all to do to win the tournament at 12 shots off the pace with two rounds to play at Riviera.

The 72-man Genesis Invitational is a Signature Event and has a $20m prize purse with $4m going to the winner. 

A total of 51 players made the cut. That meant 21 players went home. 

Sam Burns (1-over par), Russell Henley (2-over par), Keegan Bradley (3-over par), Justin Rose (3-over par), FedEx Cup leader Chris Gotterup (3-over par), JJ Spaun (4-over par) and Jason Day (5-over par) were some of the standout names to miss the weekend. 

The Genesis Invitational is one of only three Signature Events to have a halfway cut for the top 50 and ties, and players within 10 shots of the lead. 

Tiger Woods is once again acting as tournament host for his TGR Foundation. 

Groups will go out in two-balls off the 1st tee on Saturday, with Bridgeman and Penge in the final pairing of the third round.

McIlroy will join Schauffele in the penultimate pairing of the day.
