Darkness strands 18 at Riviera Country Club

The opening round of the Northern Trust Open was suspended for darkness at 5:43 p.m. PT.

It's not unusual for the first two rounds of this tournament to bleed into a second day. It's a 144-man field on one course in mid-February, not to mention that rain and wind have slowed play in recent years. Eighteen golfers failed to complete their openers, including PGA TOUR rookie D.H. Lee, who is back in action after a surprising early withdrawal from last week's stop at Pebble Beach. Lee is 3-over-par through 15 holes. He and the other 17 will return to Riviera at 7:20 a.m. on Friday to completed their rounds. The second round remains scheduled to begin at 6:40 a.m.

Top-ranked and odds-fave Fowler headlines QLN

Quicken Loans player ambassador and odds-fave Rickie Fowler is in Potomac, Maryland, for the Quicken Loans National and checks in at 9th in the FedExCup standings.

At No. 9 in the Official World Golf Ranking, the 28-year-old is top-ranked in the 120-man field and a pre-tourney 7/1 outright. He's playing his sixth QLN with three previous top 25s and one top 10, a solo 2nd in 2015 (Robert Trent Jones GC, Virginia), where he was T2 thru 36 holes and 3rd thru 54 holes. The California native is 10-for-13 on the season with nine top 25s and six top 10s, all top-6 finishes or better, highlighted by his fourth TOUR title at the Honda Classic nine individual starts ago. He arrives off T2 at the Memorial, missed cut at the FedEx St. Jude, and T5 at the U.S. Open, where he was the 18-hole leader and no worse than T5 after any round (65-73-68-72). The Florida resident ranks 2nd on TOUR in SG: Total, 1st in scoring average (69.322) and 1st in total driving.

Hurley III heads home for QL National defense

Billy Hurley III took home the trophy at the 2016 Quicken Loans National, held at Congressional Country Club, and makes his way back this week for a chance to defend his title, this time being hosted by TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.

The Naval Academy grad received a sponsor's invite into the field last year and parlayed it into his first career win. The Maryland resident took a two-shot lead into the finale and went on to win by three strokes over Hall of Famer Vijay Singh. The TOUR heads two miles down the road to take on a different venue this year but it won't change the comfort level for the BH3. At media day, the defending champ said, "I practice here a good bit, so maybe I can have a little leg up on guys because I've probably played the course more than anybody else on TOUR." Hurley III arrives on the heels of two straight missed cuts but previously rattled off six straight cuts made before that.

Rahm debuts at 2018 Ryder Cup Paris course

Jon Rahm is all set to make his European Tour Rolex Series debut in the Open de France at Le Golf National in Paris.

There have been times when the 22-year-old Spaniard has made golf look ridiculously simple this season, and he’s definitely made playing the European Tour look that way. Two WGC appearances (admittedly rather good ones: T3 at the Mexico Championship, runner-up in the World Match Play) and two majors start (including one missed cut) is enough for him to be ranked 3rd on the Race to Dubai. It’s a sign of how much cash is up for grabs at the top table, and how (comparatively) little in regular ET starts. The big question – how will he fare on this course? He said Tuesday: "This is probably one of the best golf courses I've ever played. I played it when I was 15 in the 2009 European Young Masters. I can't thing of anything bad to say about the golf course. It really is amazing." That said, it tests patience, and that is perhaps the biggest flaw in Rahm’s game right now. A lot of players with recent success at Le Golf perform well at Sawgrass. Rahm’s effort there this year? MC.

Woodland becomes a dad; WDs from QL National

Over the weekend Gary Woodland witnessed the birth of his first child and will now take a pass on the upcoming Quicken Loans National to spend some quality time with the young one.

Over the weekend, they introduced Jaxson Lynn Woodland to the world, arriving 10 weeks early, as noted in his Twitter post. This is great news for the Woodland family after a tough spring. Woodland's timeline for a return is unknown at the moment. Chris Stroud will take his spot in the field at the Quicken Loans National.

Closing 67 yields Danny Lee season-best T3

World No. 99 Danny Lee carded a 3-under-par 32-35=67 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to conclude on 10-under 270, up four spots to a season-best T3, two swings shy of a 2-man playoff involving Daniel Berger and eventual champ Jordan Spieth.

After opening in 68-67-68, the 26-year-old began T7 on 7-under, five back of Spieth. Playing out of the fifth-to-last twosome, he landed 11 (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, losing 1.060 strokes approaching-the-green and 0.468 tee-to-green. The South Korean-born New Zealander squared bogey-6 at six and bogey-5 at 14 (failed scrambles), outpaced by five birdies at Nos. 4, 7-9 and 15, three from between 19 and 34 feet, adding a hole-out 3 at the fourth from 51'5" away. He posted 1.692 putts per GIR and 2.549 SG: Putting. This is Lee's seventh top 25 of the season in 23 starts and third top 10, eclipsing a previous-best T5 at the Byron Nelson four starts ago. It's his second top 25 at the Travelers in five attempts (second straight), joining T25 on last visit in 2015.

Berger loses playoff at TPC River Highlands

World No. 28 Daniel Berger fashioned a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to match overnight leader Jordan Spieth on 12-under 268, and then lost on the first playoff hole, the par-4 18th, with Spieth holing out for birdie-3 from a green side bunker to claim the trophy.

After kicking off in 68-67-66, the 24-year-old began solo 3rd, three shy. Playing out of the penultimate twosome, he found nine (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation, scratching out 0.058 strokes tee-to-green. The Florida State product opened with bogey-5 at the first (failed scramble), but then played his final 17 in blemish-free 4-under, circling Nos. 2, 13, 15 and 17, all from inside of 11 feet. He posted 1.750 putts per GIR and 2.023 SG: Putting, buoyed by three par-savers from between seven and 15 feet. In sudden death, both players missed the green in regulation, with Spieth holing out from 61'5" away, and Berger unable to match from the fringe from 49'5". Vying for his second win this season in 18 events, second in his last three starts, the Floridian settles for a second runner-up and drops to 0-2 in extra time. It's his second straight top 5 at the Travelers in two visits, finishing T5 last year after leading by three thru 54 holes and closing with 74.

Spieth wins Travelers playoff; 10th TOUR win

Making his tournament debut, overnight leader and World No. 6 Jordan Spieth tossed up an even-par 34-36=70 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to match Daniel Berger on 12-under 268, and then defeated him on the first playoff hole with a hole-out birdie-3 from a green side bunker at the par-4 18th.

The 23-year-old, the pre-tourney fave outright (8/1), led after each of the first three rounds before Berger erased a 3-shot deficit with 67 out of the penultimate twosome. He claims a 10th TOUR title in 120 career events (112 pro), second this season in 16 starts, joining the AT&T Pro-Am, where he was also the 54-hole leader. The Texas product improves to 4-2 in extra time and 8-for-13 as the 54-hole leader/co-leader, converting eight of his last nine. After opening in 63-69-66, he began with a 1-shot lead over Boo Weekley, three clear of Berger. The Texan conjured seven (of 14) fairways and 12 greens in regulation, posting 0.716 SG: Tee-to-Green though -1.635 SG: Putting. He cancelled three birdies at Nos. 1, 2, and 15 with bogeys at 4, 12 (3-putt from 51'9") and 14, taking 1.833 putts per GIR and 29 total putts. In sudden death, both players missed the green in regulation, with Spieth providing the final dramatics from 61'5" away.

Hoffman posts 10-under with bogey-free 66

World No. 49 Charley Hoffman smoothed a bogey-free 4-under-par 33-33=66 in the final round of the Travelers Championship to reach 10-under 270, up eight spots to T2, good for the 72-hole clubhouse lead and just the second blemish-free round of the day thus far. UPDATE: With play completed, Hoffman finished in a two-way T3, two shots out of a 2-man playoff involving Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger.

After opening in 69-67-68, the 40-year-old began T10 on 6-under, six back of 54-hole leader Jordan Spieth. Playing out of the sixth-to-last twosome, he conjured six (of 14) fairways and 11 greens in regulation, losing 0.321 strokes approaching-the-green but gaining 2.383 around-the-green. The UNLV alum circled four birdies at Nos. 6, 9, 13 and 15, highlighted by a hole-out 4 from a greenside bunker at the par-5 sixth. He posted a commercial 1.818 putts per GIR and 0.330 SG: Putting, needing 27 total putts. This was the California native's 10th top 25 of the season in 22 starts and fifth top 10, second straight after solo 8th at the U.S. Open. If the runner-up holds, it'll be his second this season, joining T2 at Bay Hill (as 54-hole co-leader), and seventh in 328 career events. It's Hoffman's fourth top 25 at the Travelers in eight tries, and third top 10 with a best of T2 in 2012.

Superb Romero claims BMW International Open

World No. 837 Andres Romero played a scalpel-like final 11 holes to win the 2017 BMW International Open at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried, carding a 7-under-par 34-31=65 to total 17-under 271, winning by one from Sergio Garcia, Richard Bland and Thomas Detry.

The Argentine golfer has been in competitive limbo this season, having lost his PGA Tour card and only played this week on a BMW invitation; he repaid the offer in style. That said, through seven holes he was becalmed, notching nothing but pars. However he then made back-to-back birdies and never looked backwards from there on in, first hunting down the leaders with more red at 11, 13, 14 and 15, the latter three from inside 15'0". He needed to make a superb up-and-down to save par on 17 which kept him in a four-way tie for the lead. But a massive drive on 18 helped him find the middle of the par-5 green in two. His first putt came up 8'0" shy, but he drained the birdie effort, had set a target, and celebrated with tearful compatriot players and caddies when it wasn't matched.

MDF bumps 11 at Travelers, including Lovemark

Beginning off No. 10 tee, World No. 90 Jamie Lovemark labored to a 2-over-par 37-35=72 in the third round of the Travelers Championship and at 2-over 212, will not have a Sunday tee time, missing the secondary cut of 1-over 211 by one shot.

A total of 85 players made the 36-hole cut (even-par 140) so a second cut of low 70 and ties took place after 54 holes. Lovemark opened in even-par 140 (72-68), one of 17 players to make the cut on the number, and outbalanced birdie-3s at holes 14 and 9 with bogeys at 10, 4, 7 and 8 to hit the exits. He checked in at 60th in the FedExCup standings and off three finishes of T27 or better, highlighted by T10 two starts ago at the Memorial. Joining Lovemark on the bench for Sunday: 212- Sebastian Munoz; Julian Etulain; Peter Malnati; Cameron Percy; Sung Kang ... 213- Spencer Levin; K.J. Choi ... 214- Steve Wheatcroft ... 215- Alex Cejka ... 221- Scott Piercy.

Weekley rides inward 30 to 65/R3; solo 2nd

World No. 390 Boo Weekley fired a 5-under-par 35-30=65 in the third round at the Travelers Championship to post 11-under 199, up two places to solo 2nd, one shy of 54-hole leader Jordan Spieth.

This is the 43-year-old's 297th career event. He's a 3-time winner, most recently at the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitational (108 starts ago), where he came from one back with 4-under 66 to beat 54-hole leader Matt Kuchar by one. Coincidentally, that was the last time he was this high up the leaderboard thru 54 holes. After opening in 66-68, the Floridian went out in even-par, exchanging bogeys at 5 and 7 with birdies at 1 and 6 (from 23'1"). He stormed home in blemish-free 5-under, circling 11, 13, 15, 17 and 18, four of those from greater than 9'0" with a long of 32'2" at the par-3 11th. Weekley landed 12 (of 14) fairways and 13 greens in regulation, gaining 2.068 strokes tee-to-green and 3.261 on-the-green, needing 27 total putts.
