The PGA Tour event finally got underway in Playa del Carmen after heavy rain led to Thursday's scheduled play being washed out. Lee, last year's runner-up, pushed into a one-stroke lead after mixing eight birdies with an eagle and a bogey. The New Zealander holds a lead over American duo Brendon Todd and Adam Long, who opened with fine eight-under 63s. Vaughn Taylor, Mark Hubbard, Zach Johnson and Chris Baker are a shot further back after the opening round. Defending champion Matt Kuchar, who held off Lee by a shot last year, carded a two-under 69 to be tied for 44th. Due to the rain, the third and fourth rounds will begin on Sunday, while the event will finish on Monday if required.
