Weir, Kim and Axley Share Lead at Soggy Glen Abbey
OAKVILLE, Ontario (Reuters) - Home favorite Mike Weir and Americans Anthony Kim and Eric Axley fired six-under-par 65s to share the first-round lead at the Canadian Open on Thursday. The trio were among the few players to complete their rounds on a miserable day at a soggy Glen Abbey, avoiding torrential rain and lightning which halted play for six hours. Bidding to become the first Canadian to win the title for 54 years, Weir brightened up the stormy afternoon for the hometown fans with a bogey-free round. Weir, who came close to ending the dry spell the last time the event was staged on the Jack Nicklaus-designed layout in 2004 when he lost to Vijay Singh in a playoff, rolled in a five-footer on his final hole to go top of the leaderboard. Axley went one better, eagling the par-five 18th just before play was suspended. Kim, chasing his third title of the season, mixed seven birdies with a single bogey. "It makes a difference, it really does," Weir...

Daly Risks Injury to Play in Moscow
NAKHABINO, Russia (Reuters) - Twice major winner John Daly is defying doctors' advice and risking serious injury to play in the Russian Open this week. The 42-year-old American played at last week's British Open, the tournament he won in 1995, despite a painful elbow injury before flying into Moscow to make his first appearance at the Russian Open. "It's hurting pretty bad, but luckily the ground here is soft so I can get through the ball," Daly said after shooting a two-under-par 70, five strokes behind early leader Joakim Backstrom of Sweden in the first round on Thursday. "That wasn't possible last week. If the course had been hard this week I probably wouldn't have been able to play." Describing his opening day performance, Daly said: "I had some bad shots and some decent ones and then made a few putts coming down the stretch so I am not too disappointed. "It's probably the best that I could have got considering how badly I hit it at times. "I...
