Francesco Molinari continued to head the European challenge and Rory McIlroy was part of a large contingent of European Tour Members within two shots of the lead as American Patrick Reed climbed a stroke clear of the field at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.
After the first day was interrupted by bad weather, Reed returned to the Blue Monster to complete a four under par 68.
Reed will begin Friday afternoon's second round a stroke ahead of a group of six players on three under, including Molinari and US Ryder Cup stars Jason Dufner, Zach Johnson and Hunter Mahan. -----
