Rain delays play again in Milan
The second round of the Italian Open was delayed again this morning after further rain in Milan.
Heavy rain from Thursday evening onwards meant no play at all was possible on Friday and left parts of the Castello di Tolcinasco course under water.
Tournament officials had hoped to clear the course on Friday afternoon in time for a 7.30am start this morning.
But further downpours meant that was impossible and left greenkeeping staff trying to get the course ready for a 10am start today.
Tournament director Mike Stewart had hoped to complete the second round on Saturday and play 36 holes on Sunday, but this morning’s delay meant he now had to consider his options.
They range from a 54 or even 36-hole tournament to reducing the cut from 70 and ties to the top 50 and ties, or even taking the tournament into Monday.
