Hart leads windswept FBR Open

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Dudley Hart shot a 4-under 67 in high winds Thursday and had a one-shot lead when play was suspended in the first round of the FBR Open.

Winds were so strong that they caused golf balls to roll off the greens, so play had to be stopped for 90 minutes during the morning.

Only four players with morning tee times broke par at the TPC-Scottsdale course. There were 15 players with late tee times under par when play was halted because of darkness.

Stewart Cink and Hunter Mahan were a shot back at 3-under 68 while Heath Slocum was at 3-under with two holes to play and Charles Warren was 3-under with five holes remaining.

Hank Kuehne, the longest driver on the PGA Tour, shot a 2-under 69.

World No. 1 Vijay Singh was at even-par 71 and Phil Mickelson stood at 2-over with two holes to play.

The first round was scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. local time with some players having as many as seven holes to go before completing the round.
