Stuard leads, Day 5 back at rain-delayed Zurich

Heavy rains forced a five-hour delay at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, meaning that only half the field completed their opening rounds on Thursday. Here's how things looked when darkness halted play for the day, with Brian Stuard atop the standings:

Leaderboard: Brian Stuard (-8), Retief Goosen (-7), J.J. Henry (-5), Derek Ernst (-5), Geoff Ogilvy (-5), Charles Howell III (-5), Patrick Rodgers (-5)

What it means: Play was interrupted for much of the afternoon as storms rolled through, but Stuard was able to set the early mark as he looks for his first win.
