LIVE: Wet weather causes havoc and delays to start of Rd 2 as star Aussie pair stalk the lead

The second round of the Australian PGA Championship in Brisbane has been delayed by at least two hours due to wet weather.

The first groups were meant to tee off at 6am local time (7am AEDT), but that has now been pushed back to 8am local time.

Following a busy first round, Elvis Smylie has the solo lead thanks to an impressive -6 with a trio of Europeans in Cristobel Del Solar, Victor Perez and Joel Girrbach just behind him on -5.

The 23-year-old Smylie looked as if he’d give away his lead on the final hole of the round when he found two different bunkers on consecutive shots, but he kept his composure to coolly hole his fourth shot out of the bunker for a birdie on the par 5 ninth.

Cam Smith carded -4 in the opening round after a late flurry with his playing partners Jason Day (-4) and Min Woo Lee (-3) both right in the thick of things.

The superstar group of Smith, Day and Lee were originally down to tee off at 12:10am AEDT but due to the delay, will now likely start their second rounds a bit later in the day.
