Turkey's image as a perfect mid-winter golfing venue has taken a knock in the opening event of the EPD (German PGA) tour in the Gloria New Course Classic at Belek on the Antalya southern coast.
The scheduled 54-hole tournament has been cut to two rounds after severe frost delayed the start of play by four hours on Thursday and today (Friday).
More than 30 players have still to complete their first rounds.
Motherwell's Paul O'Hara is lying joint 22nd after a one-over-par 73.
Ellon's Ross Cameron double-bogeyed the 17th and 18th to finish with a six-over-par 78, which left him sharing 66th place.

FIRST ROUND LEADERS
Par 72
64 Max Glauert (Ger)
69 Tom Boys (Eng), Ferdinand Osther (Net).
