The second round of the Memorial was suspended for the day at 7:07 p.m. ET.
The late draw snuck in 52 minutes between the second delay and the last suspension. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. When it does, Ryo Ishikawa will be standing over a birdie try from 5'8" at the par-4 18th hole. He's 3-over-par through 35 holes and inside the cut on the number. Forty-two golfers were stranded tonight, but don't be surprised if one or two choose to withdraw instead of completing the second round in the morning. Meanwhile, in anticipation of more inclement weather, tournament officials have already announced that golfers will be going off in threesomes off split tees in the third round. May 31 - 7:26 PM

Ryo Ishikawa posted a 3-under-par 35-32=67 in the final round of the HP Byron Nelson Championship to finish the week at 6-under 274.

The first eight holes of Ishikawa's round was tame compared to his final 10. He circled two birdies to six pars to get the party started, but ended his front nine at TPC Four Seasons with a double-bogey six. His inward nine featured three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle to just thee pars. On the cusp of a top 10, this will easily be his best finish of 2013. His T38 at the Masters previously occupied that spot.

Ryo Ishikawa circled Harbour Town in 4-under-par 36-31=67, moving to 6-under 207 for the week and tied for the clubhouse lead with Jerry Kelly at the RBC Heritage.

Ishikawa traded a birdie at the par-5 second with a bogey on the par-4 sixth to go with seven pars on his outward nine. He caught fire on one of the tightest stretches of the golf course, circling birdies on three consecutive par 4s beginning with the 11th. The first of the three fell from 6'11", the second from 18'9" and the third from 3'8." He added a final birdie on the par-4 16th from 10 feet before parring his final two holes. He will try and close the door on his first top 35 of the PGA TOUR season in Sunday's final round.

Ryo Ishikawa opened the RBC Heritage with a 3-under-par 34-34=68, finishing three strokes off the pace of Brian Davis' overnight lead.

The Bashful Prince tied for 38th place at the Masters, but he closed with a week-low 68 to lay the foundation for some momentum for his first trip to Harbour Town. He hit only nine greens in regulation today, but limited the damage to two bogeys thanks in part to a 22-foot par save at the par-4 13th hole. Ishikawa also circled five birdies, beginning with consecutive conversions from eight yards off the green at 16 and a conventional roll from 19'4" at 17.

Ryo Ishikawa turned in a 3-under-par 34-35=69 for his opening round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, good for a share of the very early clubhouse lead.

Ishikawa has slogged through a miserable season, missing five of seven cuts and failing to log a top-35 finish. Today he hit just 10 greens at Bay Hill but converted six birdies, including a hole-out from a bunker 22 yards out at No. 15 and a zero-putt version from the fringe five yards away at 9. He also poured in a birdie putt form 16'9" at the 12th hole and a par save from 14'7" at 17. This is just the fourth time in 20 rounds this year that he's signed for a score in the 60s.

Ryo Ishikawa spun a 6-under-par 33-33=66 in the third round of the Puerto Rico Open to reach the 54-hole mark at 12-under 204.

Included in his round was his first hole-in-one on the PGA TOUR, coming from a 6-iron on the eighth hole. That wasn't the only fireworks he set off, also finding an eagle on the par-5 15th before closing out his round with back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th. That he is in contention and sharing the clubhouse lead is not a surprise. He was runner-up at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico last season.

At 2-over-par 71-73=144, Ryo Ishikawa survived the cut on the number at the Northern Trust Open.

He made it interesting, carding a bogey-5 at the 18th hole to close out his second round. Yet, it clinched his first payday in four starts this season, not the kind of beginning he had planned in his first year as a PGA TOUR member. Ishikawa was one of 10 golfers tied for 70th at the midpoint; therefore, a second cut of low 70 and ties will occur after 54 holes are complete.

Ryo Ishikawa’s 2013 PGA TOUR debut will come at this week’s Humana Challenge.

The Japanese star has continued to impress in his native country, but his success on the world scene has been somewhat minimal. He nearly changed that with his runner-up at the Puerto Rico Open. At 185th in birdie average last year, the expected deep scores this week don’t mesh well with his skill set.

Ryo Ishikawa has been given a special invitation into the Masters.

This is the third time that The Bashful Prince has gained entry via special invitation (2009, 2012), but he'll be making his fifth consecutive appearance. He's cashed only once, that for a T20 in 2011. Ishikawa is a first-time member of the PGA TOUR this season, but he's not a rookie because he played at least 10 times via Special Temporary Membership last year.

Ryo Ishikawa competed in 18 events in 2012 as a non-member, and earned enough money to secure a 2013 PGA TOUR card.

Ishikawa has made plenty of noise in Japan, and almost secured his first win on the PGA TOUR when he was solo second in Puerto Rico. The likely challenge for the Japanese star will be managing a schedule that requires him to be on two sides of the globe. With sponsors and success constantly luring him to the Far East, he will have to work hard to make the most of his U.S. starts.

Ryo Ishikawa intends to accept PGA TOUR membership in 2013.

The Bashful Prince earned $871,051 in 18 starts on the PGA TOUR this season. (He accepted Special Temporary Membership in March, which afforded him unlimited starts.) It would have placed him 108th on the official money list, so he's now eligible for fully exempt status next season for finishing inside the top 125 in non-member earnings. Given his comments following a victory on the Japan Golf Tour on Sunday, he'll play full-time in the U.S. "A victory is the best medicine," said Ishikawa, who hadn't won anywhere since the same tournament in 2010. "It's a medicine that gives me confidence. I can go to the United States with confidence." At 21 years of age, he's the youngest on his circuit to record 10 victories.

Ryo Ishikawa will tee it up at Hamilton Golf & Country Club in the RBC Canadian Open.

Counting the majors and WGC events, this will mark the 15th time the Special Temporary Member will compete. To date, he's earned just shy of $700k as he attempts to wrap up a card for the 2013 season. He has missed his last two cuts; two of them majors.

Ryo Ishikawa nabbed a top 10 at the Memorial when he signed for a final-round 1-over-par 36-37=73.

Now playing out of the Special Temporary Membership category, Ishikawa is taking advantages of the starts he's racking up. He circled three birdies and suffered four bogeys in a round where he found just 10 GIR and needed 29 putts to navigate Muirfield Village. He is in the field for the upcoming FedEx St. Jude Classic.

Ryo Ishikawa got off to a rocky start, but a string of birdies late in the third round allowed him to post a 1-under-par 38-33=71 at the Memorial.

Ishikawa played his first 10 holes in birdie-free 3-over, then rattled home birdies on 12, 13, 14 and added another at the 16th. He split 11 (of 14) fairways, but found just 10 GIR en route to a 1.60 putting average. He will enter the final round at 3-under 213.

Ryo Ishikawa is back in the United States for the first time since the Masters, and he will compete in the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.

Ishikawa hasn't been sitting around on the couch since his missed cut at Augusta National, instead competing five times in Japan with three top 20s and a missed cut to show for his efforts. As a Special Temporary Member of the PGA TOUR, it's vital that he makes the most of any start he gobbles up. He has never teed it up at Colonial.
