Plane Lands At Riviera
This happened at Riv today. I pray I’m never this late for a tee time, but I do pray for the means to pull up this way if I was 😂

Torrential downpour caused a 6hr delay at the Byron Nelson and almost half the field was unable to finish the 2nd round.
Scottie Scheffler was part of the half that did finish as he thundered to the top of the leaderboard in soft conditions. His 18-under par is a 36-hole tournament record.
In fact, it was the 2nd lowest 36-hole score in PGA Tour history. He was one stroke short of matching Justin Thomas’s mark from the 2017 Sony Open in Hawaii.
When play was paused, the closest score to Scottie’s was Sam Stevens at 12-under.
It doesn’t look like this is a lead that Scottie will blow, which is great for us, as he was our pre-tourney pick to win (+280) and would be our fourth outright winner of the 2025 season.
The weather forecast in Dallas looks sunny for the rest of the weekend.
