Taylor Pendrith maintained his lead at the Shriners Hospital Open despite facing strong winds that caused a four-hour delay on Friday, only needing to complete six holes before the second round was halted due to darkness. He started the tournament with a score of 10-under 61 and remained at that score after recording four pars, one birdie, and one bogey. Rico Hoey trails him by just one shot after making a 15-foot eagle putt on his last hole. Kurt Kitayama also performed well, finishing with a bogey-free 68 amid challenging conditions, and is part of a group at 8-under 134. The severe weather prompted PGA Tour officials to keep spectators away from TPC Summerlin for safety reasons, and those with tickets were offered entry for Saturday. Players faced difficulties with both ball control and putting on the windy day, with Joseph Bramlett particularly struggling with a triple bogey after five putts on a single hole.
