LOS ANGELES \u2013 The first round of The Genesis Invitational resumed at 1:09 p.m. local time after weather suspended play for almost three hours Thursday morning due to heavy rain. <\/p>\n

A large band of persistent rain hit The Riviera Country Club as play began Thursday, and after players initially played through it for more than an hour, the round was suspended at 10:13 a.m. local time. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just too much water on the greens. We\u2019re losing greens left and right,\u201d said Orlando Pope, senior director of TV Rules and Video Analyst with the PGA TOUR. <\/p>\n

In the moments leading up to the suspension of play, maintenance crews were out on several greens, squeegeeing them to ensure they were fit for play. <\/p>\n

According to the official TOUR forecast, published Thursday, \u201cthe heaviest rain is expected between 10 a.m. and noon (local). Winds will dramatically increase after noon and could gust to 34 mph at times. Temperatures in the 40s this morning will only reach the middle 50s by this afternoon. Total rainfall today is forecast around a half inch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akshay Bhatia led when play was suspended, 3-under through six holes.<\/p>\n
