Players were treated with beautiful conditions Friday at the 2025 Genesis Invitational. Following a rainy day that produced only 13-under par rounds, competitors took advantage of ideal scoring at Torrey Pines Golf Club. Scottie Scheffler shone with a bogey-free 67, landing at 7 under but not enough to reach Davis Thompson, who topped the leaderboard with a 66, finishing at 8 under. Scheffler commented, “I’m pretty satisfied with the way I scored today,” reflecting on the day’s performance.
The Leader

- Denny McCarthy (-6)
- Rory McIlroy (-5)
T5. Ludvig Åberg, Patrick Rodgers (-4) - Nick Dunlap (-3)

After early-season struggles, Scheffler’s game has come alive as he excels on the par 5s, even achieving eagle on No. 6. The competition has become fierce, particularly with the two leading golfers in form heading into the weekend.
