Wesley Bryan took the lead in the rain-delayed
John Deere Classic on Friday, five days after earning a PGA Tour
card with his third Web.com Tour victory of the year.
Bryan played 26 holes in 10 under Friday at TPC Deere Run,
birdieing three of the final holes to finish off a first-round 66
and shooting a 64 in the second to reach 12-under 130.
Area favorite Zach Johnson faced a long day today after not even
getting onto the course Friday. He's at 6 under par following a 65 on Thursday.
Play resumed five hours late at noon after nearly 2.4 inches of
rain overnight - on top of the inch Thursday morning and afternoon
that delayed play 3 1/2 hours. Because of the wet conditions, the
players were allowed use preferred lies in the fairways in the
second round.
Steve Marino was a stroke back at 11 under par after rounds of 66 and 65.
