- SEOUL: Torrential rain played spoilsport and allowed just full one round of play at a golf tournament in South Korea, leaving all 153 players winners — of sorts, organizers said on Sunday.
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 million dollar tournament.
“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.
“Because it is evident that we are not going to get through 36 holes, the action has been taken after consultation with the sponsor.”
Fifty percent of the $1 million purse will be distributed equally between the golfers, who had spent their time stranded inside the High-1 Country Club, north-east of Seoul.
