Erick Justesen struggled to 7-over-par finish in a windy first round at the Northern Trust Open at Riviera Country Club.
The Live Oak graduate was 8-over-par when play was suspended Thursday. He picked up a stroke Friday morning to tie for 120th at 78.
Justesen is playing in his fourth PGA Tour event and first since his 42nd-place effort at the 2011 Frys.com Open at CordeValle Golf Club.
He began the second round strong with an eagle on the par-5 No. 1, the same hole he birdied Thursday, but bogeyed the third and fourth to fall to even.
Phil Mickelson, coming off his impressive victory at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, held a two-stroke for first at 6-under after the first round.
