DURBAN COURSE WATERLOGGED - START DELAYED UNTIL FRIDAY

FROM THE SKY SPORTS.COM WEBSITE
The first round of the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship has been postponed until Friday due to a waterlogged course in Durban.
The Royal Durban Golf Club was set to stage the official opening event of the 2013 Race to Dubai on the European Tour, but they will now have to wait 24 hours for their big moment.
Rain around the area had already made conditions on the soggy side but more heavy rain made conditions unplayable on the course, which is situated inside the Greyville Racecourse circuit.
Just 11 days after Rory McIlroyclaimed the European Tour honours, the Race to Dubai starts all over again with the first of six South African events being the new tournament arranged in Durban.
Today's initial tee-times will now be switched to Friday, meaning Challenge Tour Number One Espen Kofstad will still get the honour of officially starting the 2013 European Tour season when he hits the opening tee shot on Friday
