HOOVER, ALABAMA - Larry Nelson of Marietta, Georgia, and Dana Quigley shared the first-round lead in the Bruno&#39;s Memorial Classic Friday when play was suspended because of thunderstorms. <br> <br> The players will complete the round starting Saturday morning before the second round. <br> <br> The leaders were both at seven-under par, with Nelson completing 14 holes and Quigley playing 13. <br> <br> Quigley made his 178th consecutive start, breaking the Senior PGA Tour record he shared with Mike McCullough. Nelson, a native of Fort Payne, Alabama, won the Bruno&#39;s in 1999. <br> <br> The start of Friday&#39;s play was delayed for two hours and the storms returned before any of the golfers were back in the clubhouse. <br> <br> Bruce Fleisher was two strokes back at five under through 12 holes, followed by Lee Trevino (13 holes), Bob Charles (ten) and Tom Jenkins (six) at four under. <br> <br> Defending champion Hale Irwin, seeking his third victory of the season, was one under after 12 holes. <br> <br> The $1.4 million tournament is being played on the Greystone Golf and Country Club&#39;s Founder&#39;s Course in suburban Birmingham.
