Torrential rain caused the Volvo Masters second round to be abandoned on Friday, without overnight leader Soren Kjeldsen taking to the course. Play was called off at 1400 GMT with the Valderrama course waterlogged. Dane Kjeldsen leads by three strokes on six-under-par from Spaniard Sergio Garcia. Order of merit contenders Robert Karlsson, the money-list leader by 297,425 euro ($380,000), Padraig Harrington and Miguel Jimenez all had to battle with the bad weather before play was suspended at 1110 GMT and then called off for the day. Karlsson is three-over after four holes, Harrington, second in the money-list, is five-over after 13 and Jimenez, fourth in the merit standings, nine-over after four holes. Briton Lee Westwood, fifth overnight, was unable to begin his round. Westwood, third in the merit list, is five shots off the lead. Letzig, Jones share lead Michael Letzig and Kent Jones both carded seven-under 65 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the 4.6 million-dollar Ginn sur Mer Classic in Florida. Letzig and Jones each nabbed seven birdies without a bogey on the Conservatory Course at the Ginn Hammock Beach Resort. The round was suspended due to darkness with five players still on the course and was to resume Friday. Letzig and Jones held a two-shot lead over Ryan Palmer, who carded a 67. Four more players were a further stroke back on 68, a group that included Australian Robert Allenby and last week's winner Cameron Beckman, Tom Scherrer and James Driscoll. Sweden's Daniel Chopra, who won this event last year for his first career title, got off to a nightmare start with an 81. Price, Eger take lead Nick Price made a 25-foot putt on the 18th hole to pull even with David Eger at 6-under 66 atop the leaderboard in the opening round of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in California on Thursday. Battling intermittent rains, Price and Eger took a one-stroke lead over Mike Goodes in the Champions Tour's season-ending event. Tom Kite, who played a bogey-free round along with Price, and Andy Bean are two shots back in the $2.5 million tournament, which also decides the tour's season-long Schwab Cup points competition. Jay Haas got off to a solid start with a 3-under 69. He was five strokes better than Funk, whose 74 was the first round's worst score. Bernhard Langer who shot 71, is third in the Schwab Cup standings, while Eduardo Romero and John Cook also have mathematical chances to win it. Jeev eyes Order of Merit Indian star Jeev Milkha Singh has vowed to challenge for the Asian Tour's Order of Merit crown when he returns to the region for the big-money events over coming weeks. Singh, Asia's number one in 2006, trails leader Mark Brown of New Zealand by just over $150,000 for the prestigious year
