RBC Canadian Open 2017: 5 Players Tied for Lead After Round 1

Weather problems at the 2017 RBC Canadian Open couldn't prevent less chaos as five players ended the first round tied for the lead at seven-under par on Thursday.

Hudson Swafford, Brandon Hagy, Kevin Chappell, Ollie Schniederjans and Matt Every all fired identical rounds of 65.

Things didn't get any more settled from there, as 11 players finished one shot off the lead, including Tyrone Van Aswegen, James Hahn, Smylie Kaufman, K.J. Choi, Chad Campbell, Vijay Singh, Peter Malnati, Jim Herman, Jhonattan Vegas, Martin Flores and Bubba Watson.

Play was suspended for nearly two hours from 3:45 p.
