Lydia Hall led the Welsh challenge before play was suspended at the LET Spanish Open.

The Bridgend player was tied for fourth place on -2 before rain cut short her day with five holes of her round left.

Finland’s Sanna Nuutinen fired an opening round 67 (-5) to lead by one shot at the Real Club De Golf Guadalmina.

Hall continued the fine form she showed at the Saudi Ladies International earlier this month.

The 32-year-old jointly led going into the final round before finishing tied for 6th.

Boulden’s round would have been better but for dropping shots in three successive holes.

Wrexham’s Chloe Williams finished the first day on +6.
