In a thrilling day of golf at the Colonial course, Davis Riley took the lead after a weather delay interrupted play. Riley, who had a solid chip to 3 feet on the ninth hole, had to retreat to the clubhouse due to storm cells with lightning in the surrounding areas. However, he returned with great composure and finished his round with a score of 65.

Riley's performance was nothing short of impressive, as he demonstrated his skill and determination on the course. He was joined by notable players such as Sungjae Im and Keegan Bradley, who both shot impressive rounds of 64 and 66, respectively. The morning rounds proved to be fruitful for Im and Bradley, putting them in contention for the tournament.

Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, the world's top-ranked player, had a challenging day on the course. After a disappointing opening round, Scheffler redeemed himself with four consecutive birdies during the second round. However, his struggles continued as he failed to notch any more birdies and ended the day at 3 under par. Scheffler's performance has been closely watched following his recent arrest in connection with a pedestrian fatality.

Another notable player, Jordan Spieth, the 2016 Colonial champion, had a solid second round with a score of 67. Spieth showcased his skills with a remarkable 24-foot putt on the 10th hole and had a strong start with five birdies in his first six holes. Despite two bogeys on the front nine, Spieth remains a contender in the tournament.

Among the other players, Emiliano Grillo, the defending champion, found himself on the cutline at 2 over par. He managed to improve his standing with a second-round score of 68, giving him a chance to continue his title defense.

The Colonial course, fully restored since last year's event, is proving to be a challenging but fair test for the players. The unpredictable weather and the delay due to lightning added an additional element of excitement to the tournament.

As the competition intensifies, all eyes will be on Riley, who leads the pack going into the weekend. With experienced players like Spieth and Im not far behind, the upcoming rounds promise to be thrilling and unpredictable. Golf enthusiasts can expect an exhilarating finish to the tournament at the Colonial course.
