Graeme McDowell and Russell Knox share lead at rain-delayed OHL Classic
Monday 16 November 2015 15:34, UK
Graeme McDowell and Russell Knox are set to fight it out for the OHL Classic title as heavy rain in Mexico forced the tournament into a Monday finish.
McDowell and Knox were tied for the lead on 19 under when darkness suspended play shortly after 6pm local time following an earlier three-and-a-half-hour delay at the El Camaleon Golf Club.
Knox, looking for back-to-back wins following his breakthrough victory at the WGC-HSBC Champions last week, reeled off five birdies in six holes in an outward 31 before he picked up another shot at the 11th to hit the top of the leaderboard.
The Scot parred the 12th before retreating to the clubhouse while McDowell, who made three consecutive birdies from the fifth, had just rolled in his third birdie putt in four holes at the long 13th when play was suspended for the day.
The British pair have a two-shot advantage over Jason Bohn, who had an eagle and two birdies on the outward half before dropping his second shot of the day at the 12th.
Overnight leader Derek Fathauer was one over for his round after 12 holes as he slipped to 15 under alongside Scott Brown, while former Open champion Justin Leonard and veteran Swede Freddie Jacobson are six off the pace with five holes to complete.
