Humble, Texas — The first round of the Shell Houston Open was suspended because of high wind Thursday with only half the 144-player field on the course. The round will resume this morning. The round was suspended for the day at 3 p.m. after wind gusts reached 50 mph.

Lee Westwood shot a 4-under 32 on the front nine to take a two-shot lead before the horns sounded across the course. Westwood made 18-foot birdie putts on the first two holes, then added a 45-footer on the par-3 ninth.

He was ready to stroke a 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole when a tournament official warned him that play was about to be stopped.

Rancho Mirage, Calif. — Brittany Lincicome never saw a 66 coming in the first round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

Lincicome held a one-stroke lead in the first LPGA Tour major of the year Thursday with her 6-under 66 at Mission Hills. Michelle Wie finished the opening round at 71 — in a tie for 18th.
