Young shades Rai for Wyndham lead, Aussie Scott falters
The PGA Tour's regular-season finale was halted on Friday afternoon with lightning in the area of the Sedgefield Country Club.
The bad weather moved in as Australia's Adam Scott slipped down the leader board, likely dashing his chances of making the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The round will resume on Saturday morning.
Young and Rai were among those still on the course when play was called.
Young had just birdied 14 and 15 to get to seven under for the round and 14 under for the tournament.
Rai, from England, had six birdies through 13 holes completed.
South Korea's Im Sung-jae shot 64 for the second straight day and shares the clubhouse lead with Mac Meissner at 12 under. Meissner fired a seven under 63 to climb the leaderboard.
Mark Hubbard is alone in fifth at 11 under following a 66.
After a strong first round, when he was just four shots off the lead, Scott fell back into a tie for 41st.
He was one over for the second round through 14 holes to leave him four under for the tournament.
The 45-year-old fired two birdies in a bright start to the front nine but matched that with two bogeys.
A double bogey six at the 10th had him on the back foot before he scrambled a birdie at the 13th.

Unless he can pull off something extraordinary, Scott will miss out on securing a spot in the playoffs starting next week.
The Aussie needed to finish with a two-way tie for third or better to have a reason to fly to Memphis, something that was likely to require shooting 20 under in Greensboro.
Meanwhile, fellow Australian Karl Vilips shot a three-under 67 in his completed second round to be tied for 22nd and six under for tournament.
Joel Dahmen, the first-round leader thanks to a white-hot 61, was even par through 10 holes on Friday to remain at nine under.

Celtics trade pitch finds ideal Kristaps Porzingis replacement by moving Simons
The Boston Celtics are still looking for ways to shed salary, and that could come in a few different ways. If Brad Stevens could also do that in a way to improve the rest of his roster, it's possible that things could look great for the Celtics in the short and long term. When recently looking for a few trade ideas around for Anfernee Simons, Matt Moore of FanSided proposed a few intriguing ones. Perhaps his most intriguing, however, was a deal with the Chicago Bulls for Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu. MORE: Boston Celtics get: Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu Chicago Bulls get: Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman 'The Bulls have a logjam of guards, so adding Simons is a little curious. But think of this way. In adding Simons, they can leverage him against Coby White, who is also on an expiring deal. The player who comes out on top gets extended. 'That, along with the Giddey extension, sets their direction for the long-term in the backcourt while Matas Buzelis develops... The Celtics shave off another $1.4 million off their cap space, while continuing to clean the books for 2026, and add a dogged defender in Dosunmu who fits their system better than Simons. Think of what Dosunmu will learn as Derrick White's understudy,' he wrote. Vucevic would be an interesting piece for the Celtics, as he has a somewhat similar skill set to Kristaps Porzingis. While Porzingis is much better, and tough to disagree with, Vucevic can also make shots from beyond the arc, so in that sense, they have some similarities. Dosunmu could also be a decent piece, and perhaps someone who could run the second unit, depending on what the Celtics want to do.

Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a serious knee injury at Friday's practice and shouldn't miss much time, according to reporting from Bill Huber of Wilson, the team's backup running back behind Josh Jacobs last season, went down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during a team period on Friday. Despite initial concerns of a major injury, it appears Wilson avoided a worst-case scenario and will eventually return during training camp. Huber described the injury as a "tweak" and reported there is "no damage" inside the knee. The Packers are already without running back MarShawn Lloyd, who injured his groin during the team's first padded practice of the week and is expected to miss time into next week. Wilson rushed 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 48 yards and another touchdown across 17 games last season. The Packers also have veteran Chris Brooks, rookies Jalen White and Amir Johnson and recent addition Israel Abanikanda at running back behind Jacobs entering the team's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Saturday. The Packers open the preseason next Saturday at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets. This article originally appeared on Packers Wire: Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury
