British masters

Husqvarna British Masters: Indian golfers Shubhankar Sharma and Yuvraj Sandhu were forced to wait for their opening rounds as persistent rain and storms severely disrupted the first day of the Husqvarna British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry near Sutton Coldfield in the United Kingdom.

With play repeatedly suspended, neither Sharma nor Sandhu was able to tee off by the time darkness brought an early end to the weather-hit opening day. Several players in the field had also yet to begin their rounds.

Northern Ireland's Tom McKibbin emerged as the early leader, reaching five-under through 13 holes before another storm forced the suspension of play.
