Report: Organizers Expect To Keep Playing Genesis Open Even After Tiger's Missed Cut

Multiple sources are confirming on deep background that the Genesis Open will carry on with the likes of Spieth, McIlroy, Johnson and Thomas making the weekend and still very much able to make a run at leaders Cantlay, McDowell and Saunders.

With a stellar weather forecast, firm, fast greens and some clever architectural problems to solve, organizers decided to forge ahead even after Tiger Woods posted a second round 76. My Golfweek report on a bad day for Woods on the greens, with his irons and the driver, where the misses weren't as bad but brought in the left side of the course.

For all the cute kids and their parents who came out to see a legend, there were more yahoos than normal on Friday and it gave Rory McIlroy a headache, notes The Forecaddie.

While some major star power is lurking dangerously, co-leader Graeme McDowell is one of the more exciting stories of the weekend. Eamon Lynch's Golfweek game story sets up what should be a fun weekend.
