Davis Thompson Leads Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines

Davis Thompson leads the Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines after a thrilling second round, finishing with a 6-under 66. He holds a narrow one-shot advantage over Scottie Scheffler, who delivered a solid performance with a bogey-free 67 despite some struggles off the tee. The event, featuring a $20 million purse, showcases a competitive leaderboard including Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Åberg, both of whom also posted strong rounds. Scheffler's ability to save par under pressure highlights his resilience, particularly after recovering from a hand injury earlier this year. As the tournament progresses, both Thompson and Scheffler's performances suggest a gripping weekend ahead. The ideal weather conditions have contributed to lower scoring averages compared to previous rounds.
