(Reuters) - Former British Open champion Justin Leonard fired a six-under-par 65 to join a four-way tie for the lead after Thursday's weather-interrupted opening round of the OHL Classic at Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.

Leonard, who had a bogey-free round at Mayakoba before wind and rain caused a 74-minute delay, shared the lead with Australian Aaron Baddeley, Shawn Stefani and Derek Fathauer.

The first round was suspended due to darkness with 21 players still on the course.
