RICHMOND, Texas (AP) - Kristy McPherson finished off a 5-under 67 in fading sunlight Sunday to take a one-stroke lead in the LPGA Tour Championship before the second round was suspended because of darkness.

McPherson was 8 under, one shot ahead of Jiyai Shin - the South Korean star who had two holes to play. Lorena Ochoa, dueling with Shin for the player of the year title, was two strokes back in a tie for third with one hole to play.

Heavy rain swamped the course Friday and Saturday, forcing tournament officials to cut the tournament to 54 holes. The fairways were still waterlogged Sunday, so players were allowed to lift, clean and place.

Players will resume their second rounds this morning. The top 70 and ties will immediately begin the final rounds.
