The men’s individual stroke play got underway this morning in Tokyo, with Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy representing Team Ireland at Kasumigaseki County Club.
However, play was suspended at 2pm local time due to lightning in the area and players are set to restart play at 4pm (8am Irish time).
Before the suspension, McIlroy, making his Olympic debut, was playing his 14th hole and was tied for 30th on one-under par.
Lowry’s tidy wedge play meanwhile resulted in a birdie on the short par four 2nd hole, however, a dropped shot on the 12th saw him fall back to level par through 13 holes.
