    The second round of the Invited Celebrity Classic has been canceled due to inclement weather around Las Colinas Country Club in Irving, Texas.

    "Due to the current weather conditions and forecast throughout the greater Dallas-Forth Worth area, competition at the Invited Celebrity Classic presented by Choctaw Casinos & Resorts will be canceled for Saturday, April 20," a statement released by PGA TOUR Champions announced. "Round 2 will be played on Sunday, April 21 and will utilize the same tee times. As a result of today's cancellation, this event will now be contested as a 36-hole competition. There will be no formal cut."

    This marks the second time this season that a PGA TOUR Champions event will be official after 36 holes of competition. Stephen Ames was declared the winner of the The Chubb Classic presented by SERVPRO after 36 holes of competition earlier this season as weather caused Sunday's final round to be canceled.

    Thomas Bjørn holds the 18-hole lead at 7-under with a pack of four golfers one stroke behind him at 6-under. Bjørn, who has never won on PGA TOUR Champions, finished runner-up at the Trophy Hassan II in February, his only other start this season.
