Sunshine Coast, December 12, 2010 - Peter Senior will lead the Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola into a fifth day after the tournament was suspended today due to heavy rain and excessive water on the Hyatt Regency Coolum course.
Play was first suspended at 2.00pm local Queensland time with the decision to call off play for the day coming at 5.00pm.
Tournament officials had hoped to send players back out in the late afternoon, but water on the course forced the day’s play to be canceled.
Play is expected to resume at 6.00am tomorrow, Monday morning.
This will be the first time in over 20 years that an Australian tournament has been forced to conclude on a Monday.
The last postponement occurred during the 1987 Australian Open at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
As of 2.00pm Sunday Peter Senior led the tournament at -12, while Peter Fowler and Bobby Gates shared second at -11.
Matthew Griffin, Geoff Ogilvy, Richard Green and Andre Stolz share 4th position at -10.
China's No. 1 Liang Wenchong had a bogey-free morning and is the leading Asian player in the tournament at -7. He has seven holes to finish tomorrow.
