Crane beats rain to lead in Milwaukee

Ben Crane carded a bogey-free 62 that included six birdies and an eagle on the par-five 15th to be clubhouse leader when rain ended play early at the US Bank Championship in Milwaukee.

Kenny Perry, who has finished in the top 10 in four of the last five years here, including a win in 2003, fired a seven-under-par 63 to be one stroke off the lead after completing the first round at the Brown Deer Park Golf Club.
