europeantour.com Raphaël Jacquelin will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Sicilian Open after overhauling long-time leader Anthony Wall in the closing stages of day three.
The problem is, when will round 4 get underway for the leaders. Play has been suspended due to dangerous weather conditions with the top 13 players waiting to tee off. Rain, thunder and lightning have moved in to cover the island and are slated to hang around well into this evening
Tournament officials will have to make a call on this soon with most of the field unfinished and all due to fly out tonight.
Jacquelin and Wall had threatened to turn the event into a two-horse race when they pulled clear of the chasing pack at the Donnafugata Golf Resort & SPA.
However, both men dropped shots down the stretch to leave the tournament wide open ahead of Sunday’s play, which will begin with 13 players within four shots of the lead.
Veteran Welshman Phillip Price and England’s Jamie Elson are tied for third on six under. Price fired seven birdies and three bogeys in an eventful 67, while Elson birdied the 16th and 17th holes to vault up the leaderboard.
