Maruyama & Micheel share lead

Japan's Shigeki Maruyama and American Shaun Micheel held the lead on seven-under-par 64 after the first round of the Nissan Open was completed on Friday.

Thursday's play was suspended because of darkness with 10 players remaining on the course.

Russ Cochran and Britain's Phillip Price were the only players inside the top 20 to finish their opening rounds on Friday. Cochran shot a 67 to finish tied for ninth, while Price carded a 68 and was tied 13th.

Maruyama and Micheel led by one shot from Hank Kuehne going into the second round.

Kirk Triplett, Fred Couples, Canada's Mike Weir, Australian Robert Allenby and Scott McCarron were another stroke back tied for fourth.
