MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Ben Crane weathered the rain delay the best.
Crane, who was atop the leaderboard when thunderstorms interrupted the first round of the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee on Thursday, continued his birdie bombardment on Brown Deer Park after a nearly five-hour delay.
His 8-under 62 made him the clubhouse leader when play was suspended for the day at 6:30 p.m., after a second rain delay of about an hour. Ninety-three golfers in the field of 156 were still on the course — or waiting to tee off.
They were to resume the first round at 7 a.m. Friday, weather permitting, with the second round to start four hours later.
