Hansen leads rain soaked 36 hole Madeira Islands slog..

Joachim B Hansen will take a one shot lead into the final round as a sprint finish beckons at the Madeira Islands Open

Play had already been reduced to 54 holes when strong winds prevented any play on Thursday, and the tournament was cut to a 36-hole dash when almost five hours of play was lost on Saturday after heavy rain flooded the Clube de Golf do Santo da Serra course.

Hansen’s -4 68 came under threat numerous times throughout the day, he was initially joined by Finn Jaakko Makitalo and Swede Joakim Lagergren during the hour and 13 minutes of play that were possible this morning, but both bogeyed their first hole after the resumption this afternoon.

As it was, England’s Andrew Marshall and French pair Jean-Baptiste Gonnet and Adrien Saddier, all of whom had completed rounds of 69 on Friday, were joined by Makitalo and compatriots Antti Ahokas and Roope Kakko, Italy’s Alessandro Tadini and Scotland’s Pete Whiteford on -3

Officials at this event are snake bitten. Last year was reduced to 36 holes as well and while a trip to the Madeira Islands is a holiday dream for many Europeans, it has been a rain soaked disaster for the European Tour at this time of year...
