Edoardo Molinari, Rikuya Hoshino and Adrien Saddier will share a one-shot lead heading into day two of the BMW International Open after balmy conditions gave way to storms in Munich.
The leading trio all went out in the morning at Golfclub München Eichenried and posted rounds of 66 that would not be caught before the threat of lightning saw play suspended at 6:52pm local time.
Round one will resume at 8am on Friday morning, with Dutchman Daan Huizing returning to complete the 9th – his final hole – just one shot off the lead.
Local trio Marc Hammer, Maximilian Kieffer and Thomas Rosenmueller were all also at five under having completed their rounds, alongside French duo Romain Langasque and Matthieu Pavon.
South Africa’s Jayden Schaper is two shots behind the leaders after carding a 68 that included five birdies and a bogey. Countrymen Oliver Bekker, Bryce Easton and Thriston Lawrence all shot 71.
Japan’s Takumi Kanaya made the 25th hole-in-one of the season as he hit a perfect nine iron from 169 yards on the 12th.
