STRONG, gusty winds on the New South Wales Golf Club oceanside links course have suspended second-round play at the Australian Open.
Play was stopped early today after balls slid off greens. Officials were hoping to get play under way after about a four-hour delay.
Only several groups of players made it onto the course before the suspension, with co-leader Stuart Appleby parring his opening two holes to remain at six-under par. Fellow Australian Scott Hend, who also shot 66 in his first round, had not started play today.
"It's nothing to do with the golf course," tournament director Trevor Herden said. "No matter where you were today you wouldn't be able to play with those wind gusts."
