Bryce Molder is the surprise leader after the opening 18 holes of the PGA Tours Dean & DeLuca Invitational in Texas. Leaderboard Dean & DeLuca Invitational The 37-year-old from Arkansas was in the first group of players driving off the 10th tee at 7am on Thursday morning, and his six-under-par 64 remained at the top of the leaderboard in Fort Worth throughout the day.In a remarkable round at Colonial Country Club, Molder opened with nine straight pars before needing just 29 shots on his return to the clubhouse. He birdied each of his last four holes and, at the end of day one, holds a one-stroke advantage over compatriots Webb Simpson and Patrick Reed, as well as Indias Anirban Lahiri.Although murky conditions led to a 90-minute weather delay during the morning, all 121 players completed their rounds.Molder, whose sole PGA Tour victory came during the Fall Series of 2011, admitted it was a round of two halves.He said: I hit a lot of greens early, around 20, 30 feet away, and just kind of rolled it up close.And then all of a sudden, I hit a couple close when I made the turn. Maybe the delay helped me wake up.Actually, I went back out on the range and just kind of made one little tinker here or there, and found a little groove for the rest of the holes.Molder, who six years ago fired a 62 around the same Colonial course, added: Ive always loved these greens. I got some good looks and they happened to go in. Jordan Spieth is well placed at Colonial Country Club after an opening 67 Lahiri, who is one of the few non-Americans on the first page of the leaderboard, combined a brace of bogies with seven birdies, while pre-tournament favourite Jordan Spieth is well-placed following a 67.The 22-year-old, who is tied for ninth, played in more breezy conditions during the afternoon. He missed the opening six fairways but still hit 14 greens in regulation while suffering his only bogey at the 244-yard, par-three, fourth hole.He said: It was so tough to gauge the wind correctly and get the ball close to the hole.On a day like this, youre just really looking to hit greens in regulation, be as stress-free as possible, and it felt like we were out there.Only four of the leading 17 players after round one were non-Americans.Watch live second-round coverage of the Dean & DeLuca Invitational on Sky Sports Xtra and Sky Sports for iPad from 1pm on Friday, and on Sky Sports 4 HD from 9pm.

MANAUS, Brazil -- With Cristiano Ronaldo on the field, a one-goal lead is never safe. The world player of the year rarely sparkled on a hot and humid night in the jungle, but his inch-perfect stoppage-time cross set up Varela for the equalizing goal Sunday in Portugals 2-2 draw against the United States at the World Cup. The Real Madrid winger, who has been playing despite a left knee injury, showed flashes of his best, but his impact was minimal until the final seconds of the match. He curled the ball in to a diving Varela, who headed past Tim Howard to give the Portuguese team a slim hope of advancing to the second round and deny the Americans instant advancement. "He made a great cross," said Howard, Ronaldos former teammate from their days at Manchester United. "Footballs cruel sometimes." The United States now has four points in Group G, the same as Germany. Both Portugal and Ghana have one point. The Americans will face Germany on Thursday in Recife, while Portugal takes on Ghana at the same time in Brasilia. "Obviously were disappointed, but at the end of the day youve got to look at the positives, we got a point," said United States captain Clint Dempsey, who scored to give the Americans a 2-1 lead in the 81st. "Its going down to the last game and hopefully we get the job done." Nani scored first for Portugal, shooting past a sprawling Howard in the fifth minute. But the Americans responded in the second half as Portugal seemed to wilt in the stifling heat. Jermaine Jones made it 1-1 with a curling shot in the 64th after a cross from Graham Zusi made its way through the Portugal defence. And Dempsey, playing with a broken nose, then put the Americans ahead, using his stomach to direct the ball into the net from a cross by Zusi. "Now we have to go out and beat Germany, thats what we have to do," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "We have to play Germany, we have one less day to recover, we played in the Amazon, they played on a place with less travel. We hhave to do it the tough way.dddddddddddd" Dempseys goal was his fourth at a World Cup and second at this years tournament. Jones scored his third goal for the United States national team and first in almost two years. It was all Portugal for much of the first half, with Ronaldo in the starting lineup but getting less involved as the match progressed. The Americans, however, started to get more and more chances and even had a shot from Michael Bradley cleared off the line by Ricardo Costa in the 55th. "There didnt seem to be any problem with Cristiano Ronaldo," Portugal coach Paulo Bento said. "What happened during the game has something to do with our other players." The heat in the Amazon rainforest, however, seemed to slow the Portuguese as the match wore on. In the 39th minute, referee Nestor Pitana of Argentina called for a cooling break, the first such decision to be taken at this World Cup. At the start of the match, FIFA listed the temperature at 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) with 66 per cent humidity. FIFA uses the "Wet Bulb Globe Temperature" to determine when official cooling breaks should be added, and says the WGBT must be above 32 degrees C (90 degrees F) for them to be considered. The breaks are supposed to occur in the 30th and 75th minutes. There was no break in the second half, but that didnt stop Ronaldo from creating the final goal. "It was a thriller," Klinsmann said. "Everybody who had a chance to be today in Manaus will talk about this game for a long time." ------ Lineups United States: Tim Howard; Fabian Johnson, Geoff Cameron, Matt Besler, DaMarcus Beasley; Kyle Beckerman, Jermaine Jones, Alejandro Bedoya (DeAndre Yedlin, 72), Michael Bradley, Graham Zusi (Omar Gonzalez, 90); Clint Dempsey (Chris Wondolowski, 87).
