Ted Potter and partner Nate Lashley were both ready to hit their third shots on the par-4 sixth hole when darkness halted play at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans yesterday. Bad weather caused a long delay, leaving half the field on the course. Several teams hadn't even started.

    Gator Brian Gay and partner Rory Sabbatini were among those who were able to get their round in, and their 12-under-par 60 held a one-stroke edge over Scott Stallings and Trey Mullinax. Gator Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy, the defending champs, were 3 under after 8 when play was suspended. Gator Matt Every and Kyoung-Hoon Lee were 1 under, along with Seminole Hank Lebioda and Curtis Luck. 

    Ted and Lashley parred the first four holes, and Lashley birdied the fifth to get them to 1 under. On No. 6, neither player is on in two, but both are close enough to get it up and down. Ted's shot is just over 22 feet.
