SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Brett Wetterich birdied his last three holes for a 4-under 68, and Jimmy Walker and James Nitties shot 67s to join Matt Jones atop the leaderboard at 7 under Saturday in the rain-delayed Texas Open.

The second round was pushed back after more than 3 inches of rain washed out play Friday on the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio. The final 36 holes will be played Sunday.

Jones had a 71 in the second round. Tour rookie Garth Mulroy (67) was a stroke back along with Charley Hoffman (70), James Driscoll (68), J.B. Holmes (70), Pat Perez (66), Tim Petrovic (68) and Aron Price (68).

Ernie Els, a two-time winner this year, was two shots back at 5 under after a 67.

Zach Johnson, the winner the last two year at La Cantera, missed the cut at 4 over with rounds of 80 and 68 on the new Greg Norman-designed course.
