US PGA Tour event washed out in Illinois
The second round of the John Deere Classic was postponed due to heavy rain.
Scheduled to start at 7 a.m. on Friday, tournament officials at the Silvis, Illinois venue were hoping to begin play at 4 p.m. (local time) after several delays. They called the round off entirely about 20 minutes before the first groups were scheduled to tee off.
By then, the sun was out and most of the clouds had disappeared. But the course was simply too wet, so officials moved the round back a day and scheduled 36 holes for Sunday.
Twice US Open champion Lee Janzen and Darron Stiles are tied for the lead after shooting 7-under 64 on Thursday.
