    Michael Bradley had a one-stroke lead when first-round play in the Travelers Championship was suspended for the day Thursday.

    Bradley was 6 under with two holes left when play was stopped at 11:30 a.m. at TPC River Highlands.

    "You know what, it's unfortunate," Bradley said. "The course is unplayable. There's a lot of water on the course."

    Officials reopened the driving range late in the afternoon and hoped to resume play at 5:45 p.m. after emptying the bunkers of waters and using squeegees on several fairways. But another shower forced more delays and officials eventually decided not to restart play before 7 a.m. Friday.
