Fifty-year-old Stewart Cink shot a 4-under 67 to join a five-way tie for the lead at the Valspar Championship before play was suspended Friday in Palm Harbor, Fla.

As the field endured rainy conditions at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course, 20 golfers did not complete their rounds before darkness fell. They will resume their second rounds Saturday at 9 a.m.

The five co-leaders, though, all finished their rounds. Cink is tied with first-round leader Kevin Streelman (72), Chandler Phillips (68), Brendon Todd (69) and Canada's Mackenzie Hughes (68) at 6-under 136.

Nine players were tied at 5 under, with only Rico Hoey of the Philippines still on the course out of that group. Hoey was 1 under through 16 holes for his round.

Justin Thomas shot a 69 Friday and is part of the knot one back of the lead, along with other notable names Lucas Glover and Irishman Seamus Power.

The projected cut line was even par. Jordan Spieth posted a second-round 74 to fall to the wrong side of that line at 1 over for the tournament. Keegan Bradley (1 over), Sam Burns (1 over), Brian Harman (2 over) and Tony Finau (5 over) are all in line to miss the cut.
