Malnati and Hurley top delayed Zurich Classic leaderboard

AVONDALE, La. - Peter Malnati and Billy Hurley III topped the Zurich Classic leaderboard at 14-under 130 on Friday when darkness suspended second-round play in the team event at TPC Louisiana.

Malnati and Hurley shot a best-ball 9-under 63 in the morning in the rain-delayed first round and had a 67 in alternate-shot play in the afternoon in the second round. Play was delayed for more than seven hours Thursday, with only half of the 80 two-man teams teeing off.

Malnati and Hurley played bogey-free in alternate shot, also the final-round format after the best-ball third round.
