Lawrie one off pace after 68

IRELAND’S Peter Lawrie, European Tour rookie of the year in 2003, was among an eight-strong group on four under at Laguna National, just a shot off the clubhouse leaders in Singapore yesterday.

Australia’s Peter Fowler and France’s Thomas Levet set the clubhouse target at five under after early rounds of 67 before an afternoon thunderstorm forced play to be suspended.

New Zealand’s Eddie Lee was eight under par with one hole to play and among 57 players unable to finish their rounds. The first round will resume at 8am local time this morning.
