Heavy rain postpones second round of Texas Open

Published Sat, May 15 10 07:46 AM

Heavy rain forced postponement of the second round of the Texas Open on Friday after more than 3 inches (7.5 cm) of rain drenched the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio.

Players will start the second round Saturday morning chasing Australian Matt Jones, who held the first-round lead after firing a course-record of six-under-par 66 on Thursday.

The 30-year-old from Sydney held a one-stroke edge over American Paul Stankowski, with U.S. Ryder Cup player J.B. Holmes and compatriots Matt Weibring, Steve Lowery and Charley Hoffman another shot back.

Officials hope to play the third and fourth rounds on Sunday but said it was possible the tournament would require a Monday finish.

The weather forecast was brighter for the weekend, with warm temperatures and only a 30 percent chance of showers predicted for Saturday and Sunday.
