Stadler leads Barclays by one

Play has been suspended before the completion of the first round of the Barclays at Liberty National with Kevin Stadler leading the field by one shot.

The 33-year-old shot a bogey-free seven-under round of 64 in New Jersey, which included five birdies in the front nine alone.

Henrik Stenson continued his dazzling late-season form with a 65 to see him trailing Stadler, along with Ryan Palmer and Camilo Villegas.

Jason Day and Matt Kuchar are tied for fifth on five-under.

Despite suffering from a bad back due to a soft hotel bed, Tiger Woods is among a group of seven players on four-under-par, with US Open champion Justin Rose a shot further back.

Harris English (-4) and Marc Leishman (-3) are yet to complete the front nine in their first rounds.

Meanwhile, Ian Poulter (-1), Rory McIlroy (E), Graeme McDowell (E), Luke Donald (E) and Sergio Garcia (E) all posted solid numbers, while Brandt Snedeker (+1) and Lee Westwood (+2) came in over par.
