ASIAN TOUR NEWS RELEASE
Tarlac,
Philippines: Officials of the Philippine Open have postponed the opening round of the Asian Tour event
to Friday due to inclement weather.
The
US$300,000 Asian Tour event, which was scheduled to start on Thursday,
has also been reduced to 54 holes due to persistent rain caused by
Typhoon Melor which hit central Philippines on Tuesday.
Asian
Tour Tournament Director Wanchai Meechai said: “Typhoon Melor did not
make landfall at the Luisita Golf and Country Club which is located
about a two-hour drive from Manila but heavy rainfall has forced
us to postpone the start of the event and reduce it to three rounds.”
Officials announced the decision at 3pm local time today as continuous rainfall is expected until Thursday.
The
Philippine Open is the final event on the 2015 Asian
Tour season.
