PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Emiliano Grillo made birdie on half of the holes Friday on his way to an 8-under 63 that gave him a four-shot lead going into the weekend at the Mayakoba Golf Classic presented by UNIFIN. RELATED: Leaderboard | Bhatia proving he belongs The second round was delayed by one hour by heavy rain in the morning, and it was not completed before it was too dark to continue. No one was close enough to catch Grillo, who was at 13-under 130. It will be only the fifth time in 136 starts on the PGA TOUR that he has a share of the lead after any round. Tony Finau one-putted six consecutive holes in the middle of his round, four of them par saves and none tap-ins, and posted a 66. He was at 9-under 133, along with Tom Hoge, who had a 67. Justin Thomas was zooming into contention with five birdies and an eagle through 12 holes. His momentum stalled, however, particularly with bogeys on his last two holes. Thomas had to settle for a 67 and was nine shots behind. But he’s still playing, which won’t be the case for Rickie Fowler and Brooks Koepka. Fowler was in position for an easy birdie on the par-5 13th hole when he sent a long iron well to the right into the trees for a lost ball. That led to bogey, and he dropped another shot on the 17th that led to a 1-over 72. The cut would not be made until Saturday, though Fowler looked certain to miss by one shot. With no events left this year, Fowler is likely to fall out of the top 50 in the world for the first time since 2010, his first full year on the PGA TOUR. He still is not eligible for the Masters next April, though he would have three months at the start of next year to either win or get into the top 50 by the end of March. Koepka, coming off a pair of top 10s in the Houston Open and the Masters, had another 71 and finished at even-par 142. He was in reasonable shape until three-putting from about 8 feet on the par-5 fifth hole for a bogey, his 14th of the round. He made birdie on the par-3 eighth, but will miss by one shot. Among those still on the course was former U.S. Amateur champion Andy Ogletree, who turned pro after finishing low amateur at the Masters. Ogletree was at 7 under with three holes remaining. Grillo made five birdies on the front nine to catch Finau and Hoge, who played in the morning. After a bogey at No. 10, the Argentine hit his stride with his great iron play and ran off three straight birdies. As it began to get dark, Grillo stuffed a wedge into about 4 feet on the 17th for his ninth birdie of the round, and he elected to finish the 18th after the horn sounded to stop play because of darkness. Russell Knox, who had the 18-hole lead after a 65, shot a 69 and was alone in fourth at 8-under 134. The group one shot further back included Kyle Stanley and Joel Dahmen, each with a 67, and Aaron Wise (68). Finau has been among the top 20 in the world dating to August 2018, even though his lone victory on the PGA TOUR remains the Puerto Rico Open in 2016. "I learned this game doesn’t owe you anything. You’ve got too earn everything you have, earn all your wins,” Finau said. “It’s been a long time coming I feel like for (win) No. 2. Hopefully, it happens here in a couple of days. Steve Stricker, the 53-year-old Ryder Cup captain, shot 70 and was at 3-under 139. It was the sixth time in 12 starts on the PGA TOUR that he made the cut. Carlos Ortiz, playing for the first time since the Mexican earned his first PGA TOUR title in the Vivint Houston Open last month, had a 68 and was six shots behind.

Editor’s note: Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, Spain’s Jon Rahm has erred on the side of caution and time is proving him right. The 25-year-old star, now confined in his home in Arizona, is concerned about his family and friends in Spain and also the health situation in the United States and around the world. The three-time PGA TOUR winner, currently ranked No. 2 in the world and the “winnerâ€� of last week’s Mythical Match Play Championship conducted by PGATOUR.COM, shares his thoughts on the current situation and also reflects on life lessons he has learned from golf.

It’s very easy to think that you’re young and nothing is going to happen to you if you catch the virus. We have to think about society, everyone we have next to us. You may not have symptoms and yet still transmit the virus. And you don’t know how far it can go and who can get affected. From the bottom of my heart, millennials, please think twice about what you’re doing. I know younger people have less of a risk of being infected, but the people who are being affected the most are our elders. Please stay at home, observe social distancing and wash your hands regularly. It’s a very small price to pay. At this time, my thoughts are with my family in Spain, including my 85-year-old grandma. I’ve kept in touch with them regularly and despite the self-quarantine, they are all in great spirit. I also want to thank everybody in the health care system: nurses, doctors, anybody related and trying to help the people in need. It’s unbelievable what you guys are doing. And we cannot thank you enough. As someone who arrived in the world of professional golf at a young age, I had to learn very quickly from my mistakes. There have been moments that were not my best, low moments when I had to take several steps back and regroup. I’ve been learning from these experiences and I’ve been climbing to where I am now. There are ups and downs all the time. I started playing this game from a very young age with the aim of being No. 1 in the world and being among the best. There are times when you have no doubt and there are times when you think you are not going to get anywhere near it. It is what it is. You have to keep fighting and maintain your confidence. Gradually, you get used to the magnitude that everything we do can have a great positive or negative effect. It is for you to adapt and learn that you have a great platform to help people. And also know that there are many children who consider you their favorite player and that you can and should pass on good values to them. For starters, win or lose, we need to always do it with humility. You’re never going to see me end up angry after losing a tournament. The winner has played better than you and deserves it, so that’s the first thing. In golf, there is also a lot of integrity involved and ultimately, every time you do something wrong in golf, you apply penalties to yourself. You also learn that, as with anything in life, there is a long process in which you have to work hard. You have to follow that process to improve as a person and at whatever you want to do. It’s not a consistent ascent. There are good times, there are bad times, very bad times and very good times. With experience and work, the good ones become even better, and the bad ones less bad. Around a year ago, I had one of those less bad moments when I finished tied ninth in my third Masters Tournament. On two previous Sundays at Augusta National, I’ve been kind of close to the lead, but not that close. Hopefully, the next time I will play well for three days, so on Sunday, I will have more opportunities to win the tournament and serve a good T-bone steak at the champions dinner, as did Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal. There was also one of those even better moments around this time last year when I won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans along with my partner, Ryan Palmer. Ryan and I get along very well and there’s great chemistry. Our game is similar, we like to hit mostly fades and it was a week in which we both played very well. Now, a year later and under the current circumstances, which has seen tournaments including the Zurich Classic of New Orleans being canceled or postponed, the most important thing for us is to assume our individual responsibility and do everything possible to not spread the virus. And if we have to stay home, we stay home. My wife Kelley and I have been keeping busy at home over the past few weeks to stay fit and mentally fresh, exercising and doing puzzles. We look forward to seeing all of you again very soon when the PGA TOUR resumes play. In the meantime, take care, stay safe and stay home.
