SINGAPORE — Thomas Bjorn shot a 5-under 66 to take the lead of the Singapore Open after rain interrupted the first round Thursday.
The Dane holed six birdies to take a one-stroke lead over Simon Khan of England, Chinnarat Phadungsil of Thailand and Pablo Martin of Spain.
Top-ranked Rory McIlroy was at even par after eight holes when play was halted for the day due to rain and the threat of lightning.
