South Africa's James Kingston has a one-shot lead following the opening round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Kingston hit a 66 on Thursday to give him a score of six-under-par after play was delayed for 90 minutes due to bad weather.

Finland's Mikko Ilonen is in second place on the leaderboard, while Scotland's Scott Henry ended the first day on four-under with Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.

Matteo Manassero, George Coetzee and Thomas Bjorn all carded rounds of 69 to put them three shots off the pace.

Meanwhile, English duo Lee Westwood and Oliver Fisher are among a number of players who will start Friday on two-under.

Rory McIlroy made five bogeys on the final six holes to give him a score of two-over and defending champion Luke Donald endured a similarly tough time out on course as he ended on six-over.
