Winds Wreck Day One At Fairmont St Andrews - 21/02/2007
PLAY on day one of the 2007 PartyPoker.net PGA EuroPro Tour Championship was abandoned due to high winds on Wednesday.
The opening day of the €100,000 Tour Championship was marred by strong winds which were moving balls on the greens on the Torrance Course at Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland.
None of the 60 players finished their round before tournament officials called off play for the day.
Players will continue their first rounds from 8am on Thursday, with the second round due to follow immediately following the completion of round one.
"This was an unfortunate way to start the PartyPoker.net Tour Championship," said PGA EuroPro Tour operations manager Dan Nickless.
"The greens are very quick anyway and the high winds made conditions unplayable.
"We're hopeful that the winds will die down overnight and hopefully the tournament will be able to continue as planned on Thursday."
