Levy swinging in the rain

The Portugal Masters has been reduced to 54 holes after heavy rain caused lengthy delays in Vilamoura yesterday with only six players, including leader Alexander Levy, completing their second rounds.

Some players came into the day yet to complete their opening rounds after a downpour ended play early on Thursday, and the start of the second round was also delayed in the morning due to more rain.

When players did get out on course, it was Frenchman Levy who made the biggest impression, playing his first 10 holes in six under par to move one shot clear of Nicolas Colsaerts at the top of the leaderboard before the rain came again.
