Jerry Kelly shot a 7-under 65 in the completion of the first round and was 11 under overall with three holes to play in the second to top the leaderboard in the rain-delayed Canadian Open in Oakville, Ontario.
Camilo Villegas, Tim Herron, Martin Laird and Nathan Green were a stroke back.
The 42-year-old Kelly, the New Orleans winner in April, had seven birdies in a nine-hole stretch in the first round. In the second, he had five birdies and a bogey before play was suspended for the day at 7:29 p.m. because of lightning.
After a 7 1/2-hour rain delay Thursday, play was interrupted for nearly three hours because of rain and lightning Friday. About 20 minutes after play was called, the course was drenched again with heavy rain.
LPGA — Ai Miyazato of Japan shot a 6-under 66 to share the second-round lead at the Evian Masters in Evian-les-Bains, and Michelle Wie was eight shots back after a 70.
Miyazato shares the lead at 9-under 135 with joint first-round leader Na Yeon Choi of South Korea (68) and Becky Brewerton of Wales, who bogeyed the 16th and 17th to shoot 68.
“Obviously there’s a touch of disappointment because I got to go 11-under. This is a really tough course to not have any bogeys,” Brewerton said. “It would have been quite an achievement not to. Disappointed I did it at the end, but I would have taken 68 at the start of the day.”
In-Kyung Kim of South Korea, the other first-round co-leader, was a shot back in fourth.
Despite a double bogey on the fourth, Wie had five birdies in her round to retain a chance of gaining points for a place on the U.S. Solheim Cup team for next month’s matchup against Europe.
EUROPEAN PGA — Ricardo Gonzalez of Argentina shot a 5-under 68 for the second straight day to take a one-stroke lead at the midpoint of the SAS Masters in Loddekopinge, Sweden.

Overnight leader Lee Slattery of England shot a 70 and was alone in second place.
