Malaysian Open: Thunderstorm halts first round

England's Luke Donald carded a 2-over 74 before round among the Malaysian Open was stopped with a thunderstorm.

Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat leads on seven under after signing for any 65 but around 1 / 2 of the 156-strong area are yet to complete their opening models.

Scotland's Scott Jamieson is the greatest-placed Briton, getting eagled the tenth to visit six under but play ended up being stopped and that he must finish on Friday.

British trio David Howell, Mark Promote and Oliver Fisher take presctiption three under.

World number 3 Donald, who showed up in Malaysia on Tuesday after finishing 4th within the defence of his Polk Bay Championship, declined responsible the 12-hour time difference and jet lag for his indifferent round.

He began around the tenth and bogeyed the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth holes because he arrived at the turn three over. A nick-in birdie around the first - his tenth - was rapidly destroyed around the next when Donald chipped right into a greenside bunker and signed for any double-bogey six.

However, a few six-feet birdie putts around the fifth and ninth holes saw him finish the round positively.

"I rested pretty much the final two nights and felt very good. It had been only a situation of not quite onto it,Inch stated the 35-year-old.

"It had been certainly one of individuals frustrating models where I acquired hardly any momentum. I acquired off and away to a sluggish start - three over after four - and only agreed to be hanging on next. There's lots of trouble available and that i found an excessive amount of it."

Italy's Edoardo Molinari, Denmark's Anders Hansen and France's Gregory Bourdy all opened up with six-under models of 66 to sit down one shot from the pace.

The monsoon rains and thunder and lightning adopted a swelteringly hot day which had already seen two gamers retire ill.
