A horror double bogey four holes from home dampened Keith Nolan's spirits on day one of the rain-interrupted first round of the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Country Club in Michigan. He was one over par after 14 holes when he four-putted from 25 feet on the par four 15th hole to eventually finish on 75.

Richard Coughlan shot 35 on the front nine and 36 on the back nine to have 71 overall - the same figure as Tiger Woods. Little-known Americans John Lewis and Brandel Chamblee lead on seven-under-par 65.
