Feb 9 (Reuters) - Jason Day ground out a two-under-par 69 to sit two strokes off the lead on Thursday when the opening round of the weather-hit Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was suspended for the day with only half the field back in the clubhouse.
Australian Day had to contend with driving wind and rain over his last four holes before organisers halted play at 1:34 p.m. PST (2134 GMT) due to unplayable conditions on the Monterey Peninsula in California.
One hour later, play was abandoned for the day with unheralded Americans Rick Lamb and Joel Dahmen, and South Korean Noh Seung-yul, sharing top spot on the leaderboard after opening with four-under 68s.
