Madeira Open postponed

The European Tour will look to stage the Madeira Islands Open later in the year after it was cancelled due to bad weather yesterday.

The tournament had already been reduced to 36 holes for the second year in succession, but torrential rain meant no play was possible in the second and final round at Santo da Serra.

Winds gusting up to 47 miles per hour meant no play had been possible on Thursday, while further strong winds on Friday caused a delay of almost two hours before rain ended play early.
