Patrick Reed takes the lead as Woods, others blown away by wind at Doral

DORAL, Fla. – Patrick Reed ended a long opening round at the Cadillac Championship on Friday with a 4-under 68 to take a one-shot lead.

Only six players finished the first round Thursday because of a storm delay. The rest of the field who had to return in the morning did not find peaceful conditions. The wind shifted slightly, and the Blue Monster had plenty of bite.

Tiger Woods made one par in eight holes and shot a 76. It was his highest score in 40 completed rounds at Doral.

Trump National Doral received an entire makeover that featured more water and a priority on angles into the green. Masters champion Adam Scott had 75, a blow to his bid to try to become No. 1 in the world.
