Chesters leads, as bad weather suspends play early

European Tour

England’s Ashley Chesters leads the weather-affected Andalucia Valderrama Masters by one-shot, after scoring a first round five-under-par 66, on Friday afternoon.

Due to the inclement weather, no player has yet to complete two rounds and play is set to resume on Saturday morning.

Chesters, who was not able to start his second round on Friday, was a shot clear of nearest challengers – Frenchman Gregory Bourdy, who also did not start his second round, and Scot Marc Warren on four-under, after nine holes of his second round, having scored a first round 69.

Spain’s Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño is among the large group in third on three under after seven holes, of his second round, with the likes of countryman Alvaro Quiros, Welshman Oliver Farr, defending champion Sergio Garcia and Australian Jason Scrivener.
