LOS ANGELES (AP) — Patrick Cantlay began with an eagle and never let anyone close to him the rest of the round Friday.
He shot a 6-under 65 to build a five-shot lead at the Genesis Invitational going into a weekend that won't include Tiger Woods.
Woods made another early exit, this one because of flu symptoms instead of his injured body.
Cantlay was making it tougher on the field with every birdie.
The cut was at 1-over 143, eliminating Pebble Beach winner Wyndham Clark and Justin Thomas.
