Australian PGA Championship officials are confident Queensland's storm season won't force the tournament into an extra day.
Play has been suspended as a storm closes in on the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast, with several players including world No.47 Marc Leishman yet to complete their opening rounds.
Heavy rain has been forecast for Friday but tournament director Andrew Langford-Jones doesn't believe there'll be a need to shorten the event to 54 holes or take it into Monday.
"The course has handled the rain beautifully," Langford-Jones said.
"We don't envisage that that will be a major problem. As long as there's an area within the bunker to drop the ball we'll be playing golf.
