MUSCAT, Oman — Sand proved to be a major hazard at the Oman Open on Friday.
Play was suspended early in the second round of the European Tour event because of sandstorms which blew in off the coast lining Al Mouj Golf.
In one incident, first-round leader Kurt Kitayama played a shot onto a green and saw his ball get blown into a bunker.
Around five hours after the decision was taken to stop play, organizers said play had been suspended for the day and would resume at 7:40 a.m. local time on Saturday.
