Thunderstorm reduces Joburg Open to three rounds

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Darren Fichardt and Paul Waring were tied at the top of the leaderboard at the Joburg Open as a thunderstorm wiped out most of Saturday’s play and reduced the European Tour event to 54 holes.

A bogey at the last hole of his second round earlier on Saturday saw England’s Waring drop into a share of the lead with South African Fichardt, who posted a second successive 66 on Friday but did not get on to the course on Saturday.
