Heavy rain forced organisers to suspend play in the Scottish Open first round at today.
Although the early starters teed off in dry but overcast conditions, light drizzle soon swept across par-71 Loch Lomond and play was finally called off after one and three-quarter hours when the rain intensified.
However, it is expected conditions will improve in the afternoon, with some sunny spells and a slight chance of passing showers.
Seven players were at one under par when the first round was suspended - Britain's David Carter (after five holes), Nick Dougherty (seven), David Lynn (one), South African Roger Wessels (three), Australia's Peter Fowler (five), Swede Robert Karlsson (four) and Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke (three).
British Open champion Ernie Els, who was level par after three holes on the second nine, heads a high-quality entry for this week's European Tour stop.
South African Els is one of five former major winners in the Loch Lomond field, which is the strongest in Europe this year with the exception of the British Open.
The other four are 2001 US Open winner Retief Goosen, 1985 British Open champion Sandy Lyle, former Masters winners Jose Maria Olazabal and big-hitting John Daly, who won the 1991 US PGA Championship and the 1995 British Open.
