No play Sunday: Gleneagles Scottish pro
championship cut to three rounds over King's
championship cut to three rounds over King's
Due
to heavy overnight and continuing rain at the Perthshire golf resort,
the King's Course was too wet for the £40,000 Gleneagles Scottish
professional championship to start today.
The 72-hole event has now been reduced to 54 holes and will end on Wednesday as scheduled.
It's 49 years since the Scottish professional championship was last decided over fewer than 72 holes.
In 1966 John Panton and Eric Brown tied over 36 holes for the title at Cruden Bay. For some reason, there was no play-off. They shared the title with 137 aggregates
PGA in Scotland secretary Brian Mair said:
"Despite
the marvellous efforts of the greenkeeping staff, there was no way we
could get play underway today. The decision has been taken
to cancel play for the day and resume on Monday with the original
Monday Round 2 tee times.
"The plan is to complete 18 holes on Monday and
then commence Round 2 immediately, with the completion of Round 2
expected on Tuesday. At this point, we will make a cut to Top 50 and
ties and complete the championship on Wednesday over the remaining 18
holes."
