Yesterday, round 2 play was suspended due to darkness.  At the time, Mitchell Meissner was T2 at -8 thorugh 18 holes and Michael Buttacavoli was T33 at -3 through 18 holes at the Banco del Pacifico Open in Quito, Ecuador on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.

On the PGA website, Mitchell said: “This is my first time playing here (Quito) and I’m having a really good time.  I have played in Denver a couple of times, but it's nothing like this.  I really like math, I majored in economics in school and it's kind of fun to compute the distances and try to figure out how far I need to hit it based on the altitude and everything else”.
