Play has been abandoned for the day due to a flooded course following almost 250mm of rainfall in the Brisbane area since last Friday. Round 2 will now take place on Saturday, starting at 06:00am Local Time. The tournament will now take place over 54 holes.
“Continued downpours throughout the morning have left a number of fairways at Royal Queensland Golf Club saturated and the course has been deemed unplayable today,” said Jose Maria Zamora, the DP World Tour Tournament Director for the BMW Australian PGA Championship.
“We plan to start the second round of the BMW Australian PGA Championship at 06:00 on Saturday, with the third and final round on Sunday.
“We want to ensure we are able to bring this incredible tournament to the planned conclusion on Sunday, mindful of the logistics of playing next week’s ISPS HANDA Australian Open over two courses.”
