DP World Tour : Alfred Dunhill Masters
The bad weather I've been talking about all week has arrived as forecast in Malelane, RSA and with the rain came thunder and lightning rumbling through the Leopard Creek course and the adjacent Kruger National Park, sending the animals, except for the frolicking elephants, looking for cover.
The leaders at -16, boyhood friends, Luis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel had played just 4 holes before lightning strikes suspended play.
Both the 1430hrs and 1600hrs were later postponed due to lightning, before officials finally announced a Monday conclusion at 9.00am local time. (4.00am ET)

Play was scheduled to resume at 1430hrs GMT which is 9.30am ET. However my look at the forecast which showed the rain socked in as of 3pm local at 100% well into the night, and on until Monday proved to be the clincher. FYI Monday doesn't look great either, but perhaps the lightning will have blown through allowing play to restart
Nobody has completed their final round.
Aaron Cockerill made it through 14 holes at -2 for a T16 -6. He has 3 birdies,, just the 1 bogey so far with four holes to play.
