Skarpnord, Luna share lead on 66
in weather-hit SAS Masters

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Norway’s Marianne Skarpnord, a former British girls' open champion, and Italy’s Diana Luna both shot six-under-par 66 to share the first round lead at the SAS Ladies Masters in Norway.
The pair finished two shots ahead of Sweden’s Nina Reis on day one at Haga Golf in Oslo, although 24 players had still to complete their rounds when play was suspended due to darkness at 8.47pm.
The first round tee times were moved back by three hours due to a waterlogged course which meant that the first group began at 11am and the last at 5pm. The eight groups who were still on the course when play was suspended will set out to complete their first rounds at 8am (local time) on Saturday while the second round will also begin at 8am as originally scheduled.
