Not a single ball was hit on the second day of the Texas Open after severe weather surrounded the San Antonio area.

Australia's Matt Jones had hoped to build on his opening day lead in the second round, but spectators were evacuated from the course due to the threat of lightning strikes.

Course officials initially suspended play, hoping to resume the competition late on Friday, but persistent weather warnings quickly ruled out the possibility.

As a result, the decision has been taken to postpone play until 13.10 (English time) on Saturday, allowing time to squeeze in the extra holes.

Jones currently leads by one stroke from Paul Stankowski.
