With wind speeds predicted to gust up to 40mph on Sunday afternoon, Tournament Officials have decided to employ a shotgun start to ensure the best chance of completing the final round on schedule.

All players who make the 54-hole cut should be in position and ready to play at 08:30.

This is just the fourth shotgun start in European Tour history after the final round of the 1994 Czech Open and rounds three and four of the 2015 Portugal Masters.
