Fog continues to hamper Madeira Islands Open; tournament cut to 36 holes

SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands -- The Madeira Islands Open was reduced to 36 holes because of persistent fog on Saturday, with the first round still incomplete.

Play in the European Tour's 1,500th event couldn't start on Thursday, and delays on Friday meant the tournament was cut to 54 holes with 77 players yet to finish. On Saturday, with the mountain course still shrouded in fog, 36 players were yet to card a round when play was suspended, and the tournament cut to 36 holes for the first time in its 22-year history.

It was the first time since the inaugural Nelson Mandela Championship in 2012 that a European Tour event has been reduced to 36 holes.

Scotland's Scott Jamieson won that event in South Africa, and his countryman Scott Henry led Madeira by one shot after a 5-under par 67 he managed on Friday.

If Henry secures his first Tour victory, he will still be afforded the one-year tour exemption despite the reduced event.

The English duo of Daniel Brooks and Lloyd Kennedy shared second place on 68.

Scott Henry leads fog-delayed first round of Madeira Islands Open by two

SANTO DA SERRA, Madeira Islands Scott Henry shot a 5-under 67 Friday to take a two-shot clubhouse lead in the first round of the fog-affected Madeira Islands Open on the European Tour.

The heavy fog that forced Thursday's first day to be abandoned returned mid-morning Friday and caused a four-hour delay, forcing organizers to shorten the event to 54 holes. Only half of the 144-player field managed to complete their first round.

Henry had eight birdies in his round, including three in succession from the 12th, as the Scottish golfer seeks his first European Tour title. However, his round could have been even better had he not finished with consecutive bogeys.

"I got off to a fast start which was nice because recently, in the few tournaments I've played, I haven't done that," Henry said. "I'm quite happy just to be in the hunt. I feel like I'm playing good again so whatever happens over the weekend I'm looking forward to it."

England's Andrew Marshall, Spain's Pedro Oriol and Austria's Martin Wiegele were tied for second.
