Wilson, Rose lead at Nissan Open

Dean Wilson navigated his way around Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles without a bogey for a 7-under 64, putting him atop the Nissan Open leaderboard Thursday with Justin Rose on a course that requires more than sheer length.

They were two shots clear of a group that included Fred Couples, who was so sick upon returning from Australia that he stayed in bed Monday and Tuesday, skipped the pro-am Wednesday and felt his hands shaking over his first putt. He wound up with a 66.

Also feeling ill was Tiger Woods, although it had nothing to do with being allergic to Riviera. Woods, 2-0 for the year but 0-10 at his hometown tournament, recovered from an early double bogey by making four birdies in a five-hole stretch en route to a 69.

Rounding out the trio of big names under the weather was Ernie Els, who sniffled his way to a 70.

Eight players failed to finish the first round before it was too dark to continue. They will return Friday morning, then start the second round.

SBS Open

Grace Park shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 to take the clubhouse lead in the suspended first round of the LPGA Tour's season-opening SBS Open in Hawaii.

Becky Iverson was 6 under through 15 when play was halted because of darkness. After rain delayed the start by 50 minutes on the oceanside course, the players enjoyed sunny and calm conditions the rest of the day.

Malaysian Open

European Ryder Cup player Miguel Angel Jimenez was 8 under with a hole to play when darkness forced the suspension of play in the first round of the Malaysian Open. Sixty-three players were unable to complete the round.
