Bad weather has forced organizers to reduce the European PGA Tour's Madeira Islands Open to 36 holes for a second straight year.
Organisers said Saturday that continued heavy rain falling on the Portuguese archipelago maintained flooding on the Clube de Golf Santo da Serra course.
Heavy winds prevented the first round from starting on Thursday and rain interrupted play on Friday.
Denmark's Joachim B. Hansen holds a one-shot lead with several golfers yet to finish their opening round.
Last year, heavy fog during the first three days of the event forced organisers to reduce it to 36 holes.
