Bryan leads Deere
SILVIS, Ill. -- Wesley Bryan took the lead in the rain-delayed John Deere Classic, 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, making birdie on three of the final holes to finish off a first-round 66 and shooting a 64 in the second to reach 12-under 130.
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 to use preferred lies in the fairways in the second round.
Bryan, 26, has made a fast rise since focusing on tournament golf last year after working as a trick-shot artist. The former South Carolina player dominated the Web.com Tour this season, winning in Louisiana, Mexico and Kansas and earning $449,392 in 13 starts.
Steve Marino was a stroke back after rounds of 66 and 65.
Ken Duke (Arkadelphia, Henderson State) only played three holes Friday, making birdie on the par-5, second. He's at 3 under for the tournament.
Andrew Landry (Arkansas Razorbacks) did not start his second round. He is scheduled to tee off at 7:50 a.m. today and sits in a tie for 64th at 2 under.
