TORRENTIAL rain played spoilsport and allowed just one full round of play at a golf tournament in South Korea, leaving all 153 players winners - of sorts, organizers said yesterday.
Only three players completed their second rounds at the Charity High-1 Resort Open, leaving officials with no option but to cancel the rest of the event. "Because of the weather we have encountered over the four days we have made the decision ... to cancel the event," OneAsia Chief Executive Ben Sellenger said in a statement. Fifty percent of the US$1 million purse will be distributed equally between the golfers, who had spent their time stranded inside the High-1 Country Club, near Seoul.
