Beacuse of the difficult playing conditions early on, the scores for the early starters have been cancelled and all competitors will start from scratch once play is resumed.
It is hoped that play will be possible later today and an announcement will be made at 2pm BST, although the earliest that play will resume would be 3pm.
We had a chat with Colin Callender from the Ricoh media centre who explained the current situation and what happens next.
