Spartans Second Round Delayed To Sunday at NCAA Championship

Fayetteville, Ark.— Saturday, the weatherman was right in predicting that rain and thunderstorms would hit the Fayetteville, Washington County, Ark., area. The rain started around 2 p.m. and washed out the afternoon wave that included the San José State women's golf team in the second round of the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship at Blessings Golf Course.
 
Play was halted at the course at 12:15 p.m. CT/10:15 a.m. PT due to the threat of impending storms. Half of the teams that played in the morning wave had just two golfers left on the course to play either one or two holes. The skies turned ugly around 2 p.m. CT, and rain followed shortly afterwards and did not let up over the next two hours.
 
The Spartans will begin second-round play on Sunday beginning at 11:06 a.m. CT/9:06 a.m. PT off the first tee. Play will resume on the course at 10 a.m. CT/8 a.m. PT.
 
The stroke play portion of the tournament will be shortened from 72 holes to 54 holes.  All 24 teams and 12 individuals in the tournament will compete again on Monday, with the pairings for that round being determined by their 36-hole score (leaders in the afternoon wave). The stroke play portion of the championship will culminate with the individual medalist being determined following the 54 holes. The field will then be cut to the top eight teams which advance to the match play quarterfinals on Tuesday.
