Qatar Masters 2012
DOHA, Qatar -- European Tour officials reduced the Commercialbank Qatar Masters to 54 holes when they called off play Friday after strong winds moved golf balls and blowing sand reduced visibility on several holes.
Officials initially suspended play at 9:13 a.m. local time after gusts of up to 35 mph. Safety became an issue, with signs getting blown around.
They were hoping to resume play in the early afternoon, but with no sign of a respite, they called off the round. Play will restart at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday. (via PGA.com)
