AGADIR, Morocco (AP) — Phillip Price of Wales is leading the Hassan II Trophy in Morocco by a stroke after strong wind and thunder delayed the start of the second round by 512 hours.

Price’s last victory came at the 2003 European Open in Ireland.

He shot a 6-under 66 Friday that included six birdies, making three straight starting with his sixth hole. He is at 10-under 134, with Spain’s Jose Manuel Lara at 9 under after a 65. Sweden’s Joakim Sjolholm had a 66, leaving him at 8 under.

Play did not begin until 1 p.m. Price had been due to tee off in the first group at 7:30 a.m. He ended his round 20 minutes before first-round leader Damien McGrane began. McGrane finished just five holes when poor light halted play. He stayed at 7 under.
