Carl Pettersson and Angel Cabrera were the clubhouse leaders when bad weather prematurely ended the first round of the Houston Open.
The Swede and Argentinian both carded seven under-par rounds of 65 before lightning forced the players off the course and concluded the day's proceedings with many players still to tee off.
American trio Jeff Maggert, Ricky Barnes and Jim Herman were out early on Thursday and they all signed for a 66 to sit in joint third, while Keegan Bradley was one of four players to post an opening round of 67 at the Texas venue.
Lee Westwood is looking to use the event to fine-tune his game ahead of the Masters and the Englishman looked in decent nick as he completed a four-under par 68 to share 10th place with five other players, while Graeme McDowell managed a two-under par 70.
Ernie Els needs to win the event to qualify for next week's Augusta show-piece and he sits on -1 after completing just two holes of his opening round, while Phil Mickelson was also one-under after three holes.
