THE TOP PLAYERS in the 2016 Sagicor Barbados Open Golf Championships will be seeking to position themselves today for a run at the title after heavy rains forced play to be abandoned yesterday at Royal Westmoreland.
Play came to an end just after 1 p.m. yesterday as heavy rains, accompanied by thunder and lightning, drenched the St. James area and flooded the course, making it unfit for play.
Executives of the Barbados Golf Association (BGA), organisers of the tournament, said players in the men’s and women’s championship flights, as well as the seniors, will now contest a two-day/36-hole event today and tomorrow at Royal Westmoreland.
Most players, including major contenders James Johnson, Carlsen Leacock, Julian Jordan and Jamaican Ian Facey, were unable to complete nine holes of the tournament and hence scores during limited play on the first day will not be considered. (PR)
