US EditionOmega European Masters Scores
Heavy fog prevented half the competitors from starting their rounds, forcing a rescheduling that extends play into Friday morning, officials said.
- Play on August 28, 2025, at the Omega European Masters in Crans-sur-Sierre was halted due to heavy fog affecting visibility on the Swiss Alps course.
- The dense fog forced officials to suspend the DP World Tour event indefinitely after only a few groups managed to complete some holes, leaving 78 players unable to start.
- Richard Mansell and Ivan Cantero shared the lead with five-under 65s, while contenders including Matt Fitzpatrick, Ronan Kleu, and Richard Sterne remained in close contention despite unfinished rounds.
- Officials planned to resume play at 1:30 p.m. local time, but further delays could force the tournament to shorten to 54 holes as tee sheets grew out of sync and a backlog developed.
- The suspension and challenging conditions suggest a demanding Friday ahead with a congested schedule and potential impact on player performances and tournament outcomes.
