Estes, Armour III lead as rain wreaks havoc
Bob Estes and Tommy Armour III shot 5-under 68 to share the lead in the suspended second round of the rain-soaked Ginn sur Mer Classic in Port St. Lucie, Fla.
Estes and Armour opened with identical 64s on Thursday, leaving them at 14 under. Daniel Chopra was another stroke back after a 66 at Tesoro Club.
The course was soggy Thursday and even wetter Friday, thanks to intermittent rain overnight and during the morning. Players were allowed to lift, clean and place their balls in the fairway -- and still had trouble finding dryish spots to play from.
Play was delayed an hour at the start by rain and the round was suspended at 5:39 p.m. after another squall moved into the area. None of the players with afternoon starting times finished, meaning 64 will complete the round this morning.
Weather permitting, that is. More rain was expected overnight.
Honda LPGA Thailand: Suzann Pettersen holed a 115-yard wedge shot for eagle on the par-4 13th and birdied the 18th to maintain a 2-stroke lead in the Honda LPGA Thailand in Pattaya, Thailand, her fourth straight tour round atop the leaderboard.
Chasing her third victory in four weeks, Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 for an 11-under 133 total after two warm days at Siam Country Club. She has 4 LPGA Tour victories this year, also won in Norway, and has held at least a share of the lead in seven of her last 10 tour rounds.
