Dirksen leads Euro event at Majorca

MAJORCA, Spain, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- Robert-Jan Derksen was up by one stroke Saturday when the European Tour’s Majorca Classic was suspended for a second straight day.

Before play was stopped because of darkness, Derksen was 10-under-par through 15 holes of his third round. He was a co-leader with Jean-Francois Lucquin when the second round was completed Saturday morning.

Sunday, he will attempt to win for the third time in his European Tour career. He has not won since 2005.

Peter Lawrie and Sam Little were on the course at 8-under, while Richard Finch (66) held the second-best score in the clubhouse at 7-under 203.

A total of 54 players had to return early Saturday morning to complete the second round, and 18 face a similar situation Sunday morning to complete their third rounds.
