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.
