Luke Donald may have had to wait an extra hour to resume his bid for the BMW Championship at Wentworth today, but it was worth the wait as he holed-in-one at the second.

The shot, with a seven-iron, spun into the cup to the cheers of the few spectators braving the miserably wet conditions and took Donald into a two-stroke lead at seven under par.

Donald was one of four overnight leaders following an opening 67 and while Nick Dougherty remained five under after two pars South African Andrew McLardy bogeyed the third and was still four under after seven hours. Paul Casey has yet to begin his second round.

Ireland's Peter Lawrie is one shot behind but is not scheduled to take to the course until midday at the earliest.

The downpour forced officials to delay the start for 60 minutes and also change the hole locations on three of the greens - the first, fourth and 16th - so that they were in drier positions.

But it looks like being a stop-start day with parts of the West Course already saturated and some players preparing to tee off had to dodge puddles on the practice putting green. PA
