(Reuters) - American Brendan Steele parred his last five holes to card an eight-under-par 64 for a one-stroke lead when the weather-delayed first round of the Texas Open was completed in San Antonio on Friday.
Steele, the 2011 champion, had stormed to eight-under through 13 holes before his round was cut short by darkness on Thursday after heavy rain wiped out more than three hours of play at the TPC San Antonio.
About half of the field were still out on the course when play was suspended due to fading light. Of those, American Patrick Reed made the biggest move on Friday with four birdies in his last six holes to shoot a 65.
