PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico (AP) Brian Stuard topped the OHL Classic leaderboard at 5 under with three holes left Thursday when first-round play was suspended for the day because of rain and wet conditions.
More than 3 inches of rain soaked the Mayakoba Resort since early Wednesday night.
Play was suspended from 8:40 to 11 a.m. local time, and stopped again at 1:22 p.m. It was called for the day at 3:30 p.m., with only 15 players able to finish their rounds on the El Camaleon course.
"The biggest thing was the lightning threat and the rain we received," said Slugger White, the vice president of rules and competition for the PGA Tour. "We absolutely lost the golf course. With this rain it just knocked us out."
More thunderstorms are expected Friday.
