AKRON, Ohio – Steve Stricker topped the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship leaderboard at 5 under with a hole to play Thursday when the first round was suspended for the day because of lightning.
Coming off a victory two weeks ago in the U.S. Senior Open at Norte Dame, Stricker had a hole-in-one on the 184-yard, par-3 seventh at Firestone Country Club - the longtime home of a World Golf Championships event and previously the World Series of Golf.
Stricker is seeking his third straight major victory on the PGA Tour Champions, a run that began with the Regions Tradition.
