Cristobal Del Solar
Overnight leader Cristobal Del Solar maintained his lead at the Astara Golf Championships despite managing to play only eight holes and play being suspended with 67 players yet to complete the second round. The second round was suspended first due to lightning and then then due to darkness.
Del Solar is now tied at 10-under with Mason Andersen, who had completed his second round.
Del Solar was even-par thru 8 holes during the second round before play was suspended. Andersen made the most of the day recording seven birdies against one bogey for a second-round 6-under 65.
Making third appearance at the Astara Golf Championship, Andersen’s best result at the tournament was T8 two years ago.
