Alridge Shares Lead After Delayed First Round in Vegas

(Reuters) - American journeyman Tyler Aldridge finished bogey-birdie to move into a four-way tie for the lead when the delayed first round of the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas was completed on Friday.

One of 13 players still out on the course when play was abandoned in fading light on Thursday, Aldridge ended up with a seven-under-par 64 at the TPC Summerlin, level with compatriots Mark Hubbard and Michael Thompson, and Canada's David Hearn.

Aldridge had just two holes remaining when he returned to the course on Friday morning, and recorded his only bogey of the round at the par-three eighth before rebounding with a birdie at the par-five ninth.
