MIAMI: Colombia's Camilo Villegas, Americans Lucas Glover and J.J. Spaun each fired six-under-par 66s to share the lead on Thursday at the darkness-halted opening round of the PGA Players Championship.

Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy was only one stroke adrift, sharing second with Australian Min Woo Lee and Americans Akshay Bhatia and Billy Horschel after 18 holes at TPC Sawgrass.
Spaun birdied all four par-five holes while back-nine starter Villegas birdied five of his first eight holes and Glover, the 2009 US Open champion, birdied the last four holes.
"Great finish," Glover said. "Any time you can birdie 16, 17, and 18 it’s great because it’s such a great finish and you can throw in 15 as well. Very pleased. I played nice and made putts."
