Severe flooding from heavy overnight rain which has continued throughout the morning has caused play to be abandoned for the day in the 61st Telecom Italia Open at Castello di Tolcinasco, Milan. The second round, which could not be started, will now be played on Saturday.
The second round was due to begin at 7.30am local time but the overnight downpour and continuing rain in the morning left parts of the Castello di Tolcinasco course under water.
Frenchman Gregory Havret and England’s Mark Roe share the lead after the first round, both players carding eight-under-par 64s to lead by one over New Zealand's Michael Campbell and Sweden's Christopher Hanell.
