Shaw Hill-attached pro Nick Dougherty completed only 14 holes of the weather-affected Algarve Portuguese Open at Vale do Lobo yesterday.

He was seven over par when heavy rain and gusting winds brought play to a halt.

Clitheroe-attached Paul Dwyer - who qualified for the European Tour event by finishing seventh at the Madeira Island Open a fortnight ago - finished the round four over par on 76.

Swede Carl Pettersson took advantage of calm morning conditions yesterday to card a six-under-par 66 to lead by four strokes from Brit David Gilford.
