Second round due to restart at 7am tomorrow at Taiwan Golf and Country Club
South African Jbe Kruger and Liu Yu-jui from Chinese-Taipei are sharing the lead on course during round two of the Mercuries Taiwan Masters – after the US$1 million tournament at Taiwan Golf & Country Club finally got underway today following two days of no play caused by Typhoon Krathon.
The duo reached six under for the tournament, with Kruger having played six holes and Lui five before play ended for the day, with none of the field able to complete their rounds. A three-hole scoring system is being used so scores are based on latest scores submitted.
Defending champion Jaco Ahlers from South Africa, his countryman Ian Snyman and American Trevor Simsby are one back in the Asian Tour event.
Organisers are hopeful of playing 54 holes over the weekend and opted for a shotgun start for this morning’s first round and this afternoon.
Ahlers, Simsby and Chonlatit Chuenboonngam from Thailand carded five-under-par 67s to take the first-round lead.
Kruger, Snyman, India’s Rashid Khan, Justin Quiban from the Philippines and Tatsunori Shogenji from Japan shot 68s.
The second round will resume at 7am tomorrow, with the third and final round, also a shotgun start, to go ahead after 11am.
