Unbelievably bad weather in Morocco for Alps Tour event

FROM THE ALPS TOUR WEBSITE
The weather in Morocco this week is kind of unbelievable. As far as residents can remember, it has been a long time since Morocco had to suffer from such awful conditions.
All players in the Alps Tour's Mogador Open were ready to start at 9.45am, but unfortunately the wind was too strong for balls to stay still on the greens.
The area of Golf de Mogador was lashed by heavy rain and huge gusts of wind. Players came to clubhouse to be safe and waited for information.
At 11am, the organising committee decided on suspending the play for the day. Tuesday's play was also "lost."
It is hoped that the second and third rounds can be played on Friday.
The plan - weather permitting - is for the second round to be completed on Friday morning with an 8.30am start.
That should finish the second round about noon. The qualifiers after a second-round cut will go out again in a shotgun start about one hour later for the third and final round.
