Zurich Classic 2019: Peter Malnati and Billy Hurley III topped the 2019 Zurich Classic leaderboard at 14-under 130 on Friday when darkness suspended second-round play in the team event at TPC Louisiana. The Zurich Classic of New Orleans resumed Saturday at TPC Louisiana in Avondale, La.
The 2019 Zurich Classic is underway in New Orleans, though it hasn't been without its share of weather issues. First-round action on Thursday was hampered heavily by a delay caused by heavy rain and lightning, which of course has forced the PGA Tour team event to kick things into high gear as the weekend hits.
Round 2 on Friday was suspended due to darkness as a result of Round 1 taking the weather hit on Thursday, with the duo of Peter Malnati and Billy Hurley III holding a slim lead at the top of the leaderboard. They'll look to hold off the rest of the pack on Saturday as the second round will continue on with an early start time in the Big Easy.
The second round began Friday at 3:15-4:54 p.m. ET for the first wave of tee times and 7:30-9:09 p.m. for the second wave after the remainder of Round 1 was completed. Round 2 resumed at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
Jon Rahm and Ryan Palmer caught fire late in the second round to take the lead at 15 under. They sit one stroke ahead of first-round leaders Brian Gay and Rory Sabbatini and the pairing of Peter Malnati and Billy Hurley III in a two-way tie for second place.
Round 3 will begin at 12:20 p.m. ET using split tees with 13-minute intervals. The PGA Tour said the leading group tee time will depend on the number of teams that make the 36-hole cut.
Here's a look at the schedule of events so you can watch all the action.
