SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Mark Calcavecchia shot a 5-under 67 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead over Kenny Perry in the suspended first round of the Champions Tour’s AT&T Championship.

Thirty-three of the 80 players were unable to complete the round because of darkness. The round started on time, but play was delayed 3 hours, 18 minutes when a rain storm blew through with lightning and strong wind gusts. The temperature dropped as low as 48 degrees.

Perry was 3 under with three holes left when play was suspended on TPC San Antonio’s Canyons Course.

Tom Kite shot a 70, and Willie Wood also was 2 under with a hole left.

Calcavecchia won the Montreal Championship in June for his second title on the 50-and-over tour.
