The BMW PGA Championship halted first-round play on Thursday as news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II spread.
The decision to stop play at the Wentworth Club near London came with 30 players yet to compete in the first round. There will be no play at the tournament on Friday.
Officials had indicated earlier in the day that a stoppage in play could come into effect if they received word that the Queen had passed. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II smiles at waiting fans after attending a church service at St Andrews Anglican Church in Taupo with the Duke of Edinburgh. The Queen is in New Zealand on a five-day official visit, her 10th to the country. We are greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty today.
