FORT WORTH, Texas -- Matt Kuchar was hoping he would be able to finish his second round Friday night at Colonial. He ended up with the lead -- and a very early wakeup call. Kuchar had only three holes to complete in what so far was a bogey-free round, with his ball already on the 16th green. He was at 10 under and described the conditions as "just perfect right now." But Kuchar was among 54 players still on the course when play was suspended at Hogans Alley because of an impending storm system. The 18 groups that didnt finish are scheduled to resume the second round at 7:15 a.m. Saturday, just more than 12 1/2 hours after coming off the course. "Thats a bit of a bummer," said Kuchar, who opened with a 5-under 65. "Its no fun to wake up at 4:30 to get out here and play three holes." At least Kuchar has the lead, by one stroke over Graham DeLaet. The Weyburn, Sask., who shot a 67 in a morning round completed before a two-hour, 10-minute delay just after noon because of lightning. DeLaet was at 9-under 131. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., plummeted down the leaderboard to 2 over after hitting a 78. Kuchar, No. 13 in the world and the highest-ranked player in the field, took the lead with a 6-foot-birdie putt at 457-yard 14th hole, and recovered from a drive into a fairway bunker on the 15th for a par while clouds darkened and thunder could be heard in the distance. Soon after Kuchar, the WGC-Accenture Match Play winner in February, teed off at the par-3 16th, and his ball landed about 40 feet from the cup, the horn sounded ending play. It was raining heavily about 30 minutes later. First-round leader Ryan Palmer, the Colonial member who had an opening 62, was still at 8 under after an up-and-down 12 holes Friday that he managed to play at even par. Steve Flesch (64), 19-year-old Jordan Spieth (67) from Dallas and Josh Teater (67) finished at 8 under. Fleschs 64 matched the best completed round of the day and, more importantly, will end his string of 16 missed cuts on the PGA Tour since October 2011. The 2004 Colonial champion missed the cut in all 12 of his PGA Tour starts last year before right shoulder surgery in August, and is playing only his third tour event this year. The 45-year-old Flesch is playing on a non-exempt major medical extension and has to make $647,510 between this weekend and his next three events to prolong that medical extension. "Im very comfortable here and just glad to actually play on the weekend now," Flesch said. "I was actually cruising, then I got that rain delay and I kind of lost all of my rhythm. ... Its like starting your whole round over. My swing didnt feel very well on those last three (holes)." Flesch was on the course trying to complete his morning round when play was stopped for the first time. He had just made a 33-foot birdie putt at the difficult par-4 fifth hole, his 14th hole of the day. The lefty finished with four pars in a row. Palmer hit his opening drive way right at No. 1, a par 5 that is generally among Colonials easiest holes, and started with a par. The former Texas A&M golfer with three PGA Tour wins sank an 11-foot birdie putt at No. 3, but hit his drive at No. 5 out of bounds and had to drop in the rough, leading a double bogey. He followed with a bogey at No. 6 after driving into a fairway bunker. "When you shoot 8 under, its hard to come back sometimes. ... I was calm all day, confident," Palmer said. "Now I even par sitting on 13th tee, I have soft greens and pretty calm winds in the morning, so maybe I can get up there with Kuchar and we can have some fun tomorrow." In his last three holes before the suspension of play, Palmer made an 8-foot birdied at No. 10 and rolled in a 27-footer at No. 12. He never teed off at the par-3 13th. Kuchar matched DeLaet for the lead after four birdies his first seven holes. Kuchar had a 15-foot eagle chance at No. 1 that came up just short, then hit is approach at No. 2 that stopped inside 3 feet after ricocheting out of the cup. "The front nine, I really got it going," Kuchar said. "I jarred a shot on 2 that landed in the hole and came back out. ... I really got off to a great start. And then I kept playing some good golf." DeLaet was 10 under after his third consecutive birdie, a 6-footer at the 373-yard second hole that was his shortest putt in that stretch. Then he arrived at Colonials famed "horrible horseshoe" as the Nos. 3-5 holes are known because of their layout and the difficulty of the stretch -- a 239-yard par 3 sandwiched by the two longest par 4s on the course. "It definitely got me today," said DeLaet, who bogeyed all three holes. After DeLaets tee shot at the 470-yard third hole went into a fairway bunker, the Canadian badly missed the green at the par 3 before his approach shot at the 475-yard fifth hole came up short of the green. But DeLaet finished strong, with consecutive birdies to finish after he had come up just short of a 31-foot birdie at No. 7. "Always nice, and kind of got myself right back in it," said DeLaet, whose has never finished better than third on the PGA Tour in 69 events. "The main thing for me, I feel more comfortable now if I see my name on the leaderboard. ... A few years ago, if I was in 15th going into the weekend, I knew if I could just maintain that position that that would be a good check kind of thing. My mindset now is beyond that. I want to try to win golf tournaments."Cheap NFL Jerseys China .

Authentic NFL Jerseys China . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time. Young formally announced his retirement Friday after returning to Rangers Ballpark, his baseball home for all but the last of his 13 major league seasons.Understanding the one-sided dominance of the Southeastern Conference rivalry between Florida and Tennessee requires a numerical exhibit.Florida bids for 12 straight wins over Tennessee, a streak that includes three one-point wins for the Gators, who took a 28-27 decision last season. But the Gators are turning to a new quarterback, one with a 2-9 career record as a starter, to keep the streak alive.No. 19 Florida (3-0, 1-0) will go into its game with 14th-ranked Tennessee (3-0, 0-0) with senior Austin Appleby, slated to take over for the injured Luke Del Rio, looking to put his own stamp on the recently one-side series.The two teams clash at 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday in Knoxvilles Neyland Stadium in what could be the deciding game in the SEC East Division, though Georgia also figures to have a say later in the season.Ive come to the University of Florida to play, said Appleby, a graduate transfer from Purdue. Thats ultimately why I chose to come here. I want to be part of something special.I dont think you ever want to be someones caddie. You want to be the guy thats got the ball in his hands. Im excited about my opportunity. It breaks my heart that it had to come by an injury.Appleby started four games for the Boilermakers last season and shouldnt be fazed by playing in front of 108,000 at Neyland Stadium, having played in Big Ten stadiums and hostile environments at Nebraska and at Iowa. He had 11 starts in 17 games in his three years with the Boilermakers.He has a reputation for having a stronger arm than Del Rio, but isnt as accurate. At Purdue last season, he completed 57.4 percent of his passes for 1,260 yards and eight touchdowns in five games, but he also had eight interceptions in his 207 attempts. He completed two of four passes for 30 yards last week against North Texas after Del Rio was hurt late in the third quarter.Del Rio, who has completed 61.4 percent of his passes in his two-plus games for 762 yards and six touchdowns, sustained the knee injury when he was sacked low late in the third quarter by North Texas defensive lineman Joshua Wheeler, who was flagged for a late hit on the play.According to multiple reports, Del Rio suffered a sprained MCL and will be out two to four weeks, but Florida coach Jim McEllwain did not confirm the diagnosis this week.ddddddddddddHe should be back some time, McElwain said. Im not going to rush him back. Weve got other guys. I feel horrible for him, especially how it happened.Tennessee has some injury issues of its own.Volunteers coach Butch Jones confirmed that cornerback Cameron Sutton will be out for an extended time because of a broken ankle. Sutton started the first three games and was credited with eight tackles, two for losses. He also had Tennessees lone interception of the year and was used as both a punt and kickoff returner.Another special teams performer, redshirt freshman Quarte Sapp, who had one tackle on kick coverage in the opener against Appalachian State, is out for the season with a knee injury.We are now very limited on special teams, Jones said. We are going to need some youngsters, who play sparingly, to step up and embrace their role and do their job because the expectations on our special teams will not change no matter who is on the field.We have great confidence that some individuals will step up.Jones expressed concern about attacking Floridas defense.This is probably the best defense we faced since I have been here, he said. They make you earn everything that you get. I have never heard of a team holding another team to 53 yards on defense.That is what Florida did in beating North Texas 32-0 last week. As a team, the Gators have held their first three opponents (UMass, Kentucky, North Texas) to an average of under 130 yards a game in total offense.Defensively, they are going to make you earn every yard that you get, Jones said. Offensively, its the same thing. They play with a physical style of play.Florida will go into the game riding an 11-game winning streak in the series, but the last two games have been decided by just one point.Thats why you come to Florida, to play in these kind of rivalry games, McElwain said. Heres the great thing about Florida, we have more than one of them. Thats what I want, for our guys to let loose and enjoy the environment, the atmosphere because Ive been at places where you had to make the rivalry up. ' ' '
