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.

William McGirt assumes 36-hole clubhouse lead

William McGirt backed up his opening 64 at the John Deere Classic with a 5-under-par 36-30=66 in his second round to post 12-under 130, good for outright possession of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

McGirt finished three strokes lower than anyone in the late-early draw through two rounds. He went just 3-for-6 in scrambling for three bogeys today, but manufactured eight birdies, including six on his inward nine (the front side of TPC Deere Run). Three of his conventional birdies disappeared from outside 13 feet, the longest stretching 22'1" at the par-3 third hole. He also holed out for birdie from seven yards away and in front of the green at the par-3 seventh.

T. Clark birdies first 5 holes; bogey-free 63

Tim Clark torched TPC Deere Run for a bogey-free, 8-under-par 30-33=63 in his second round of the John Deere Classic.

When you open birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie as the South African did today, you expect to take it deep. So, props to Clark for making that run count. He hit 14 greens in regulation and total eight birdies, the longest measuring 17'2" and 36'8" at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively. At 7-under 135, he's strokes off the 36-hole clubhouse lead.

Cantlay (back) WDs from John Deere Classic

Patrick Cantlay did not tee off as scheduled for his opening round of the John Deere Classic.

The rookie was slated to go off in the last threesome off the 10th tee at 2:15 p.m. CT today. He was not replaced in the field probably because no alternates were on site or immediately available. UPDATE: PGA TOUR Media alerted its followers on Twitter that Cantlay withdrew due to a back injury. This gives gamers reason to be concerned as he had been sidelined for months due to a fractured vertebra.

Co-leader Brian Harman birdies half the holes

Brian Harman spun an 8-under-par 32-31=63 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic to join the clubhouse co-leaders.

For a guy with a penchant of going low, it's saying something that this is his lowest aggregate since a second-round 63 at the 2012 RBC Canadian Open. Harman went 8-for-16 in birdie chances today and added a five-yarder from the fringe at the par-4 13th hole. His longest conventional conversions stretched 11'4" and 21'7" at Nos. 11 and 12, respectively. But since he two-putted three times from nine feet and in, including a miss from just 38 inches at the par-5 second hole, his strokes gained-putting landed at about 0.000 when he walked off.

Bogey-free Sabbatini co-leading at John Deere

Rory Sabbatini lit up TPC Deere Run for a bogey-free, 8-under-par 31-32=63 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic, good for a piece of the clubhouse lead.

The South African has done very little in the last couple of months, so today's round is a bit of a surprise. Sparked by a red-hot putter, He went 8-for-16 in birdie chances, two of which on par 5s. Five of his birdies measured longer than 13 feet. The notables stretched 21'10" and 21'11" at Nos. 4 and 12, respectively. At last check, his strokes gained-putting sat at 3.758.

ZJ sets a personal low at the JDC; co-leads

Zach Johnson continued his assault on TPC Deere Run with a bogey-free, 8-under-par 30-33=63 in his opening round of the John Deere Classic.

He signed his card with the clubhouse lead. ZJ ranks second in all-time earnings at this tournament, yet today's score is his lowest in 43 competitive rounds. He split all 14 fairways and hit 15 greens in regulation en route to eight birdies, including on all three par 5s. The only par breaker that disappeared from outside 10 feet measured 18'8" at the par-3 12th hole.

Hamilton, 48, ties career low on the PGA TOUR

Todd Hamilton opened the John Deere Classic with a bogey-free, 7-under-par 32-32=64, good for very early possession of the clubhouse lead.

Talk about capitalizing on getting the last sponsor exemption. Hamilton went out in the second threesome off the 10th tee at TPC Deere Run today. He'd go on to hit 16 greens in regulation and convert seven times for birdie. Three of his rolls stretched longer than 11 feet, the longest measuring 18'9" at the par-3 seventh hole. This was his first round of the 2013-14 season. It's his first red number since a second-round 70 at last year's Open Championship and equals his career low on the PGA TOUR first set in the third round of the 2008 Frys.com Open.

Parnevik breaks rib in Segway fall; posts vid

In what will go down as one of the strangest injuries of 2014, Jesper Parnevik broke a rib when he fell off a Segway.

OK, so Segways aren't as safe as we are led to believe. Brandt Snedeker banged up his knee in China while riding one last fall. However, there is video evidence of Parnevik's tumble. Click on the link below for the short clip. He was maneuvering around a small tree when he lost his balance and fell on the handle of the machine. It looks painful and it will cost him at least a few weeks of action. The Swede tagged the vid with this text: "Haha, of all injuries I'v [sic] had, this is the most ridiculous!! Broke a rib and had to withdraw from all events this month." He doesn't have any fantasy value unless you're in a pool that rewards odd sports injuries. If so, congratulations. You just won your league championship.

Stricker withdraws from The Open Championship

Steve Stricker has elected not to compete in next week's Open Championship.

He said last week that he was going to wait to see how he played at Greenbrier and potentially this week at the John Deere Classic, but the time had come when he felt compelled to take a pass on the trip. He blew up for a 4-over-par 74 in the final round at The Old White TPC where he settled for a share of 35th place. Stricker is the all-time earnings leader at the JDC with consecutive victories in 2010-2012. He placed T10 last year.

Open qualifier completes the field at the JDC

With a bogey-free, 6-under-par 32-34=66 at today's open qualifier at Pinnacle Country Club in Milan, Illinois, Andrew Ruthkoski earned a berth into the John Deere Classic.

Ruthkoski was the only of the four-spotters without a blemish today. He circled six birdies in regulation, and then survived a 3-for-2 playoff that eliminated Jace Long (34-32=66). Ruthkoski has cashed in three of his five career PGA TOUR starts, but hasn't pegged it in an event since missing the cut at the 2009 Buick Open. Ryan Lenahan (33-33=66; 7 birdies, 1 bogey) also survived today's playoff. At 7-under, 33-32=65, Raymond Knoll (1 eagle, 6 birdies, 1 bogey) and Armando Villarreal (8 birdies, 1 bogey) shared medalist honors. Lenahan, Knoll and Villareal will be making their PGA TOUR debuts. The field at TPC Deere Run is now complete at 156.

Sloan breaks through in Nova Scotia playoff

Roger Sloan claimed his first Web.com Tour victory in a playoff over Derek Fathauer on a long day at the Nova Scotia Open.

The competitors were forced to log 36 holes in the final round due to the impact of Hurricane Arthur on Saturday at Ashburn Golf Club's New Course in Halifax. Make that 37 for Sloan and Fathauer, as they were tied at 11-under-par 273 at the end of regulation. Sloan closed with a 1-under 36-34=70 to Fathauer's 5-under 29-37=66. Returning to the par-4 18th for what would be the only hole of sudden death, Sloan's par was good enough as Fathauer settled for a 5. Sloan is Canadian, so there is no doubt that his victory on native soil in his 32nd Web.com Tour start will hold a special place in his heart for some time. After beginning the week at 80th on the money list, he's vaulted to 12th. Should he remain inside the top 25 at season's end, he would graduate to the PGA TOUR in 2014-15.
