JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - Darren Fichardt and Paul Waring were tied at the top of the leaderboard at the Joburg Open as a thunderstorm wiped out most of Saturday’s play and reduced the European Tour event to 54 holes. Rain has played havoc with the tournament at the Royal Johannesburg and Kensington Golf Club all week and the early end to play on Saturday means the event will now be decided over three rounds. He hit five pars on Saturday before dropping a shot on the 18th. It was obviously frustrating to come back and be one over for the last four holes,” Waring told reporters. Defending champion Haydn Porteous was among a group on nine under after matching his first-round score of 67 in his second round.
