Waterlogged greens interrupted play during the second round yesterday, with South Africa’s Richard Steerne eventually grabbing the lead alongside Robert MacIntyre on 12-under after the round was completed this morning.
The third round was set to follow in the afternoon but play was halted shortly after the resumption with the third round now being diverted to Sunday.
Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin was on 10-under with one hole left to play before proceedings were suspended yesterday. But a quadruple bogey on the last earlier this morning brings him back to six-under with a round of 73.
Conor Purcell is also on six-under while Pádraig Harrington is on four-under after a second consecutive 70.
Home favourite McIntyre is back in action after helping Europe to back-to-back Ryder Cup triumphs last week. Matt Fitzpatrick, who also played a part in that thrilling victory, is in contention on eight-under while Tommy Fleetoowd and Tyrrell Hatton are both one shot back.
