Rain, wind, thunder and lightning are not conducive to conducting a golf tournament, and this JoBurg Open has had all of the above all week, washing out round 3 and as a result officials have been forced to reduce the event to 54 holes.
Here is tournament Director David Williams.
"The forecast for tomorrow is pretty good. I think we'll just have to wait and see how much damage is done today because at the moment it's coming down very hard and obviously it's coming down onto an already saturated course.
"So we'll just keep our fingers crossed that we have a reasonably good evening, that we can restart tomorrow and get finished over three rounds"
England's Paul Waring and South African Darren Fichardt are tied at the top after 36 holes at -11 but the leaderboard is jam packed so if they can get play in tomorrow it will be a shoot out on a very soft course.
