The Rain in Spain means no play today on Costa

del Sol, tournament cut to three rounds 

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
The second round of the Open de España Femenino has been postponed until Saturday because of persistent thunderstorms at Flamingos Golf in Benahavís on the Costa del Sol on Friday.
Organisers had originally pushed the tee times back by half an hour after thunderstorms overnight before suspending play again at 9.30am for three hours and 25 minutes.
Play was eventually abandoned for the day at 2.10pm and any scores posted on Friday will not count. The tournament will be reduced from 72 to 54 holes finishing on Sunday.
“Because the weather was so unstable and with more storms coming, we decided to cancel the round,” said the Tournament Director Andy Lott from the Ladies European Tour. “It wouldn’t have been possible to resume play until 4pm and we would not have been able to complete three rounds by Saturday evening.”
Sunshine has been forecast for Saturday followed by sunshine mixed with clouds for Sunday’s final round.
Rookie María Hernández from Spain held the first round lead after firing a seven-under-par 64 in the blazing heat on Thursday. England’s Laura Davies, Swede Carin Koch and Irish-born American Alison Walshe all opened with rounds of six-under-par 65.
Saturday’s second round will begin as originally scheduled for Friday, starting at 8.45am.
