Tough weather conditions made birdies difficult to come by.
Shane Lowry has work to do after his first round at a wet & windy Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines.
The Offaly man is one over par, after carding a round of 73 which included three straight bogeys in the first five holds.
However the 37 year old responded with two birdies on the 17th and 18th hole to keep him in contention.
Denny McCarthy currently holds the lead on four under par, while fellow Irish man Seamus Power is tied second on three under par.
Lowry tees of his second round at 5.52 Irish time
