Lee leads fog shortened Madeira Islands Open

Heavy fog on the Atlantic island delayed play in the morning before darkness led to the round being suspended late.

SANTO ANTONIO DA SERRA, Portugal — Craig Lee of Scotland shot 4-under 68 to take a one-stroke lead of the Madeira Islands Open before bad weather forced the second round to be suspended on Friday.

Heavy fog on the Atlantic island delayed play in the morning before darkness led to the round being suspended late.

After bogeying the second hole, Lee was flawless the rest of the way, hitting five birdies on the Clube de Golf do Santo da Serra course.

American golfer Peter Uihlein went 8-under on the round to move up to one shot back, along with Chile’s Mark Tullo.

Lee said the cold, foggy conditions and the delay meant “it was pretty hard to focus and get back into it again, but I managed to do that.”
