Corey Conners leads by one shot at Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard

ORLANDO, Fla. — Corey Conners spent more time grinding out pars than chasing birdies, and that proved to be the right recipe Friday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard as Bay Hill began to bake under a warm sun. RELATED: Leaderboard | A tale of two Cowboys at Bay Hill Conners surged into the lead with a 25-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th hole — his second eagle on that hole in two days — for a 3-under 69 and a one-shot advantage over former Bay Hill winner Martin Laird (67). Rory McIlroy was poised to at least join Conners in the afternoon until he hit a couple of loose drives that cost him one shot when he could only pitch back to the fairway, leading to bogeys. He closed with five straight pars for a 71 that he figures could have been worse. “It could have been the round that I could have shot 74 or 75. I got in with 71 and pretty happy with that,” McIlroy said. He was two shots behind, along with Viktor Hovland and Lanto Griffin, who each had a 68. Jordan Spieth remained in the mix going into the weekend, which is becoming a regularity in the last month as he tries to end more than three years without winning. Spieth hit a superb flop shot over the bunker to a fast green that rolled out to a foot to escape with par and a 69. Conners was at 9-under 135, and now everyone braces for the weather. The forecast featured plenty of rain Saturday, which figures to make Bay Hill play longer and tougher, while also keeping the greens from getting as crusty as they were last year when Tyrrell Hatton won with a closing 74. “We’ll just see what happens and be ready for anything,” Conners said. Hatton at least gets a chance on the weekend. He opened with a 77 and was 10 shots better Friday, a 67 that allowed him to make the cut with one shot to spare. Also making the cut were both Ryder Cup captains — Padraig Harrington of Ireland with a 74 to be nine shots behind, Steve Stricker with a 71 that left him one shot better. Conners, whose lone PGA TOUR victory came two years ago at the Valero Texas Open, saved par seven times during his round, the exception coming at the par-3 second hole when he came up short of the green, some 80 feet away, and wound up missing his par putt from 10 feet. Otherwise, the Canadian has been solid. This is only the second time he has held the lead going into the weekend, the other occasion at the Valspar Championship in 2018 when his bid to go wire-to-wire ended with a 77 in the final round. “I haven’t really been in this position a lot, but I have a lot of confidence in my game and feeling really relaxed the last few days, so try and keep that going,” Conners said. “I feel like I have a lot of energy. I had an off week last week and really excited for the weekend.” Laird has recent success winning on a familiar course. In the fall, he ended seven years without a victory by winning in Las Vegas, scene of his first PGA TOUR victory in 2009. He won at Bay Hill in 2011 on a final round so tough a 75 was enough to get the job done. Now there are plenty of others in the mix. U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau overcame consecutive bogeys at the end of his front nine and shot 71. He was three shots behind. Another shot back were Spieth, Justin Rose (68), Sunjae Im (70) and Paul Casey (69). Hatton wasn’t the only player who saw a big improvement. Jazz Janewattananond of Thailand had the low round of the tournament with a 65, which was 10 shots better than his first round. Jason Day looked to be in much better shape than seven shots behind. He played in the morning, had a pair of birdies and came to the 16th, the easiest at Bay Hill. He lost his tee shot to the right and had to use binoculars and the zoom lens of a camera to make sure the ball stuck in the tree was his. That led to a double bogey, and he took another double bogey on the 18th hole by taking four to get down from a bunker. “A little unfortunate that it got stuck. It was literally in a nest,” Day said. “So I think mama birdy is going to come back and find another egg there.”

Reigning FedExCup champion Justin Rose returns from his holiday break to the California desert, as does Phil Mickelson to challenge Jon Rahm’s title defense as the TOUR makes its traditional first stop on the U.S. mainland in the new calendar year. Related: Field | Past results | Course overview It’s the 60th edition of what was once Bob Hope’s grassed stage. Celebrities who have passed through the Classic’s pro-am have ranged from Frank Sinatra, Jackie Gleason and Phil Harris to George Lopez, Alice Cooper and Samuel L. Jackson to U.S. presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. FIELD NOTES: Danny Willett tees it up for the first time since ending his 2018 with a victory at the European Tour’s season finale. The English pro, forced to rebuild his swing after back woes, has revived his PGA TOUR membership after a year away. … PGA West is anticipating 12 of the current top 30 in the FedExCup standings. … Charlie Reiter, who opened 68-70 in last year’s event as a high schooler, is back on another sponsor exemption. The two-time Southern California prep champion now is a freshman at USC. … John Catlin, a two-time winner on the Asian Tour last year, also got an exemption. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points. STORYLINES: Rose tees it up on U.S. soil for the first time since he took home the FedExCup trophy at East Lake, making his first Desert Classic visit since 2010. After three top-4 finishes in the FedExCup Playoffs, he took third at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions in October and won the European Tour’s Turkish Airlines Open the following week. … Mickelson, who also serves as a Classic ambassador, seeks a third crown for his portfolio to go with wins in 2002 and 2004. It’ll be his first competitive round since beating Tiger Woods in “The Match� over Thanksgiving weekend. … Rahm arrives off a share of eighth at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, his third straight top-10 finish worldwide. That includes a win at the 18-man Hero World Challenge. … Adam Hadwin, who shot 59 two years ago but was chased down by Hudson Swafford on the final day, takes another shot at desert glory. … Rahm’s victory made him just the second international winner in the past 15 Classics. Jhonattan Vegas (Venezuela) was the other, prevailing in 2011. … La Quinta Country Club is in the rotation for the 48th time, missing only eight Classics since its debut in 1964. That’s a longer run than all but four PGA TOUR venues. COURSE: TPC Stadium Course at PGA West, 7,113 yards, par 72. Now in its fourth year as host, Pete Dye’s 1986 design finally fits into the role for which it first was envisioned. Given the task of testing golfers to the utmost, Dye built a layout featuring deep bunkers, pushed-up greens and plenty of water. The course made its debut for the 1986 Skins Game and joined the Classic rota in 1987. The Skins Game stayed five more years, with six editions of the TOUR’s qualifying finals later held at the Stadium course. The event’s pro-am format also will utilize PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament course (7,159/72) and La Quinta CC (7,060/72) in the first three rounds. 72-HOLE RECORD: 260, Patrick Reed (2014). Note: Steve Stricker shot 255 through his first 72 holes in 2009, when the Hope was a five-round tournament. 18-HOLE RECORD: 59, David Duval (5th round, 1999 at PGA West/Palmer), Adam Hadwin (3rd round, 2017 at La Quinta CC). Stadium Course record: 63, Jonathan Fricke (2nd round, 2008 Qualifying Finals*), Whee Kim (2nd round, 2012 Qualifying Finals*). Nicklaus Tournament record: 59, Harrison Frazar (4th round, 2008 Qualifying Finals*). Note: Q-School does not count as an official PGA TOUR event. LAST YEAR: Rahm beat back Andrew Landry’s playoff challenge – not to mention impending darkness – with a birdie on the fourth extra hole, notching his second TOUR victory and fourth worldwide in a 51-week span. Rahm began his week with a 62 at La Quinta CC, but began the final day two shots off Austin Cook’s pace before posting a 5-under-par 67. Landry forced extra holes with a birdie on the final hole of regulation, and they matched pars on the first three holes before Rahm found the touch from 11 feet in fading light. It was Rahm’s second win in three starts bridging the holidays. HOW TO FOLLOW TELEVISION: Thursday-Sunday, 3-7 p.m. ET (Golf Channel).

Woods, competing on the PGA Tour this week for the first time in five months, made two late birdies to salvage a four-over par 76 at Muirfield Village Golf Club that left him three over on the week and one shot outside the projected cut line. “Well, not very good,” Woods, who has never missed the cut in each of his previous 17 Memorial Tournament appearances, said when asked to assess his round.
