Rory McIlroy has set up a golden chance to win his first Genesis Invitational <\/a>at Riviera this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McIlroy fired a composed 65 on Friday to move to 11-under par and one shot off the pace, currently set by big-hitting Englishman Marco Penge and in-form American Jacob Bridgeman, who both went one better with superb rounds of 64.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Penge and Bridgeman, who find themselves at 12-under par after 36 holes, are both going in pursuit of a first PGA Tour title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McIlroy, meanwhile, is looking for a landmark 30th PGA Tour title and his first ever at Riviera.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The grand slam champion has incredibly yet to mark a score of five down on his card this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two-time major champion Xander Schauffele and former Masters champion and two-time Riviera winner Adam Scott are also in the mix at 9-under par.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler made a clutch par save on the 18th hole from eight feet to make the cut on the number at level par.<\/p>\n

The runaway World No.1 opened with a lethargic 74 but he bounced back with a 68 to make the weekend and keep his impressive cut streak alive<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 72-man Genesis Invitational is a Signature Event and has a $20m prize purse with $4m going to the winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A total of 51 players made the cut. That meant 21 players went home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sam Burns (1-over par), Russell Henley (2-over par), Keegan Bradley (3-over par), Justin Rose (3-over par), FedEx Cup leader Chris Gotterup (3-over par), JJ Spaun (4-over par) and Jason Day (5-over par) were some of the standout names to miss the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Groups will go out in two-balls off the 1st tee on Saturday, with Bridgeman and Penge in the final pairing of the third round.<\/p>\n
