GOLF ROUNDUP Compton, Day top rain-plagued Zurich Classic Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 25, 2015 at 8:16 PM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 25, 2015 at 8:16 PM » Social News AVONDALE, La. — Erik Compton birdied three of five holes after a nearly six-hour rain delay Saturday, giving the two-time heart transplant recipient a share of the lead with Jason Day early in the third round of the rain-plagued Zurich Classic. Compton and Day were at 13 under, a shot ahead of Justin Rose, Blayne Barber, Jerry Kelly and David Hearn at TPC Louisiana when play was suspended because of darkness. Compton finished six holes, and Day played three. Before rain halted play at 12:14 p.m., Day finished off a 7-under 65 to take the second-round lead. Winless on the PGA Tour, Compton also completed a 65 in the second round. "It was nice to come out this morning and finish the round," Compton said. "And then, I basically just did what everybody else did, just saddled up and waited." Compton opened the third round with a birdie on the first hole before the long delay. He came back with a birdie on the par-5 second and added birdies on the fourth and fifth holes. "It's going to be a low scoring tournament so fortunate to get off to a decent start, a good start," Compton said. "It's a lot of golf, so you know you have to reach a number." The strong storm downed at least one tree and toppled tables. Play resumed at 5:57 p.m. and was suspended for the day at 7:32 p.m. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. today, and the forecast is for sun with a high around 90. The players will not be repaired for the final round. SWINGING SKIRTS: At Daly City, Calif., Brooke Henderson had a one-shot lead and lost momentum going into the final round of the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic. Henderson led by as many as five shots on a chilly afternoon at Lake Merced until making bogeys on her last two holes. The 17-year-old Canadian had to settle for an even-par 72 and a 9-under 207 total. Morgan Pressel and Min Seo Kwak were tied for second. Henderson was denied a waiver for the age minimum of 18 to try to join the LPGA Tour. She is hopeful a victory Sunday can change that. Top-ranked Lydia Ko was fourth at 6 under after a 71. The defending champion turned 18 on Friday. BASS PRO SHOPS LEGENDS OF GOLF: At Ridgedale, Mo., boyhood rivals Ian Woosnam and Sandy Lyle took a two-stroke lead in the Champions Tour's Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf at Big Cedar Lodge. Woosnam and Lyle shot a 6-under 64 in better-play play on Buffalo Ridge's regulation Springs course to reach 13 under. On Thursday, they had the best score at the par-3 Top of the Rock course, a 7-under 47 for nine holes of modified alternate shot and nine holes of better ball. Play will close Sunday on the par-3 course with nine holes of modified alternate shot and nine of better ball. Woosnam and Lyle grew up about 20 miles apart, with Lyle in Scotland and Woosnam in Wales. They birdied five of the last six holes in windy conditions. In the Legends Division for players 65 and older, Larry Nelson and Larry Fleisher had a four-stroke lead at 11 under. They had a 66 at Buffalo Springs after opening with a 47 on the par-3 course.
