AT&T CHAMPIONSHIP
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — John Cook and Marco Dawson shared the first-round lead at 7-under 65 in the Champions Tour's AT&T Championship, the final full-field event of the season.

Michelle Wie and Chinese star Shanshan Feng were a stroke back long with American Brittany Lang, South Africa's Lee-Anne Pace, England's Jodi Ewart-Shadoff and Germany's Caroline Masson.

The final two groups were unable to start play.
