THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Ken Tanigawa birdied the first three holes for a share of the lead with Tim Petrovic when first-round play in the PGA Tour Champions’ Insperity Invitational was suspended Friday because of lightning and heavy rain.

Play at The Woodlands Country Club was stopped at 12:17 p.m. because of lightning and called off for the day at 2:55 p.m.

Petrovic completed six holes.

Corey Pavin, Jerry Smith, Mike Goodes, Shaun Micheel, Kent Jones and Glen Day were a stroke back. Pavin, Smith and Goodes played seven holes, Micheel and Jones five, and Day two.

Bernhard Langer, the winner last year for his fourth title in the event, was even par through two holes.
