Sam Saunders keeps first-round lead at weather-delayed Genesis Open

LOS ANGELES -- Hideki Matsuyama returned to Riviera and birdied his final three holes to at least stay in range of Sam Saunders as first-round play wrapped up and second-round play began Friday at the weather-delayed Genesis Open.

Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, shot 64 on Thursday and finished the opening round with a two-shot lead as play was delayed until Friday morning because of fog. Second-round play began immediately after 48 players finished their opening round, however a huge storm system loomed off California.
