(AP) - Hale Irwin and Hubert Green, two past win- ners of the United States Open Golf championship, and Jim Thorpe, who has yet to win any tournament on the PGA Tour, fired 2-under-par 68's and were tied for the lead yesterday in the first round of the national champion- ship. The opening round was interrupted for 45 minutes by a violent thunderstorm which struck the Winged Foot Golf Club course just moments after Irwin had finished. IRWIN WON this prestigious title ten years ago, the last time it was played on this difficult course in the northern suburbs of New York, and again in 1979. Green, the wiiner of this title in 1977 but in a deep slump for two seasons, had his round interrupted by the storm that raked the course with winds, rain and lightning. About two dozen players remained on the course when Green finished. At that point, it appeared unlikely that the round could be completed before darkness. ASINGLE stroke off the pace at 69, 1- under-par on the course that was sof- tened by overnight rains, were former Masters champion Seve Ballesteros of Spain, national amateur champion Jay Sigel, Curtis Strange, Fred Couples, Lennie Clements, Mick Soli and David Canipe. Among the group at par 70 were steady Gil Morgan, the non-practicing op- tometrist who has recorded five third- place finishes this season, Australian Greg Norman, Morris Hatalsky, Andy Bean, Mike Sullivan and club pro Fran Marello. Jack Nicklaus, at age 44 seeking a record fifth U.S. Open title, said he was satisfied with a 71. "I'm quite happy to be in with a 71. I think I'll play better as the week goes on," said Nicklaus, who broke a two- year non-winning string two weeks ago.
