Ernie Els, Steve Flesch, Chris DiMarco, Padraig Harrington and Doug Barron all shot 5-under 67s to share the first-round lead Friday at the weather-delayed Regions Tradition. The first round was delayed by more than three hours on Thursday and then halted with lightning in the area at Greystone. The 72-hole event is the first of five PGA Tour Champions majors.
