RAIN HITS NELSON MANDELA CHAMPIONSHIP FOR SECOND DAY IN A ROW

NEWS RELEASE
DURBAN, South Africa — Players will need a third day to complete the first round at the Nelson Mandela Championship after rain again disrupted the European Tour event's schedule.
After a seven-hour delay on Wednesday, only a little more than four hours' play was possible on Thursday before the Mount Edgecombe course became unplayable again because of a heavy downpour.
Englishman Daniel Brooks was still the clubhouse leader after an 8-under 62. Three Frenchmen were right behind, with Francois Camels second after a 63 while Edouard Dubois and Romain Wattel were two shots off the lead.
South Africa's Oliver Bekker also moved to 6 under through 14 holes before players were called off again. More than 50 players have still to complete their first rounds.
Last year, when the event was won by Glasgow's Scott Jamieson, the tournament was reduced to 36 holes. It is looking a possibility again 12 months later.
