British Masters: Tom McKibbin leads before play suspended for opening round after stormy weather at The Belfry

Tom McKibbin of LIV Golf held a one-shot lead through 13 holes during the opening round of the Husqvarna British Masters at The Belfry before play was suspended for the third time due to stormy weather. The day was severely disrupted from the start, with a lightning warning halting play just two minutes after the first tee shots at 7.30am, causing an initial three-hour delay. No first rounds were completed as repeated weather stoppages left the tournament significantly behind schedule.
