Play suspended due to heavy rain. BMW International Open to conclude on Sunday evening – Saturday tickets valid for Sunday.

Pulheim. The third round of the BMW International Open was suspended on Saturday, as persistent heavy rain made the course unplayable. Here is the schedule for the rest of the tournament:

• There will be no more play today. The third round will restart at 07:30 on Sunday. The final round will then begin from the first tee at 09:30, with players playing in groups of three. The final group will tee off at 13:30 and is expected to reach the 18th green at roughly 18:30.
• Tickets for Saturday (excluding the Fairway Club) remain valid for Sunday, so visitors should hang on to their tickets.
• Visitors to the course on Sunday are requested to use the alternative car parks P8/1 and P8/2 in Pulheim. The addresses for sat nav systems are: Parkanlage P8/1: Industriestraße 20, 50259 Pulheim and P8/2: Siemensstraße 2, 50259 Pulheim. A free shuttle bus service will also operate to and from the course.

Quotes from Saturday:

Henrik Stenson (SWE, -11, T1): “It's been rather wet today. I mean, we play an outdoor sport, you get these every now and again. We've got a pretty long day ahead of us tomorrow, but we'll get it done eventually. When it was a heavy downpour, there was a flood coming over the 18th and the putting green was completely underwater. I didn’t play a single shot today, but the course was definitely not playable in that rain.”
