EPD TOUR BLUNDER MEANS FIRST

ROUND PLAY IS CANCELLED

This week's German PGA developmental EPD Tour event in Austria, the Adamstal Open, at Adamstal Golf Club, has had to be reduced from
three to two rounds after a blunder by the greenkeeping staff during play in the first round.
A statement from the organisers said:

 "After mistakenly the golf course had been changed during play on Monday the first round of the Adamstal Open has had to be cancelled. The tournament will be completely re-started on Tuesday at 7 a.m and. the tournament is reduced to 36 holes."

There are three Scots in the field - Conor O'Neil (Pollok), Philip McLean (Paul Lawrie Golf Centre) and Michael Patterson (Kilmacolm).

+Something similar happened in a Scottish women's amateur championship many years ago.
On that occasion the greenkeeping staff cut new holes when about a third of the field had still to play, which meant all the players would not be playing to the same hole positions.
