Skarpnord and Luna take route 66 to lead in Norway

8/23/2008

Norway’s Marianne Skarpnord and Italy’s Diana Luna both shot six-under-par 66 to share the first round lead at the SAS Ladies Masters in Norway.

The pair finished two shots ahead of Sweden’s Nina Reis on day one at Haga Golf in Oslo, although 24 players were still to complete their rounds when play was suspended due to darkness at 8.47pm.

The first round tee times were moved forward by three hours due to a water logged course which meant that the first group began at 11am and the last at 5pm.

The eight groups who were still on the course when play was suspended will complete their first rounds at 8am on Saturday while the second round will also begin at 8am as originally scheduled.
