AMERICANS Fred Funk, Michael Allen and Jay Don Blake shared the lead yesterday after the rain-delayed opening round of the Champions Tour's first tournament in Asia.
All shot 3-under 69s after the start of the tournament was delayed by one hour and 39 minutes due to rain and wet conditions. The course in Incheon, South Korea, had received more than two inches of rain from early in the evening on Thursday. Organizers brought in a two-tee start -- in which some players start on the front nine and others on the back nine -- to make up for lost time.
"Conditions were remarkably good with all the rain," said Funk, who won the US Senior Open in 2009.
American John Cook and Sandy Lyle of Scotland were one shot behind with 2-under 70s. D A Weibring of the United States stood 1-under at 70, while a quartet of players -- South Korea's Park Nam-sin, Japan's Naomichi Ozaki, American Olin Browne and South African Denis Watson shot even par 72s.
