Molder has been playing well so far this early 2016. And, it continued today. He's -5 thru 16 holes when 1st round play was suspended due to darkness. They got off to a 1-hour delay this morning due to frost on the course. He's tied for 4th and a couple of shots back of the lead. Play will resume Friday morning at 9:30amET/7:30amMT and I'm guessing the tee times will be altered some.

Hadley finished with a good -2 (3 birdies & 1 bogey). Tringale is even par thru 14 when play was suspended.

Molder bogeyed his final hole to finish his 1st round at -4 this morning. Hopefully, he continues to play well and sets himself up for some contention play this weekend.

Molder with a bogey-free round thru 13 holes today and is -4 on the day thanks to 4 birdies. He is now -6 for the tournament and back in the top 10. Tringale didn't make the cut. Hadley made the cut but is way back.

Let's go, Bryce!!

What a 3rd round for Molder. -7 for the day and now -9 for the tournament. 8 birdies and 1 bogey.

He birdied 5 of his last 7 holes with 1 bogey thrown in.

In the top 5 now. Nice!

Wow, what a round for Molder!! Hopefully this puts him within striking range for Sunday.

The leaders did not extend their advantage over Molder on the back nine today, so he is well within striking distance. Might be a fun lead in to the Superbowl tomorrow!

 

[GTJT622]

Bryce is set to tee off at 12:40pmET Sunday in the next-to-last group (threesomes) Sunday.

 

[Texwood]

Great start for Molder with birdies on 1 & 3. Only one stroke off the lead in the early going!

 

[GTJT622]

A win would be a huge boost in recharging his career and of course open up a lot of guaranteed opp's over the next year or more. Go get 'em, Bryce!!!
