Mt. Pleasant, S.C. - The first round of the Southern Conference Women's Golf Championship has been cancelled due to storm-like conditions at Patriots Point Golf Links on Sunday morning.
Although as of mid-morning it had not rained at the golf course, gale force winds and the threat of inclement weather prompted officials to first delay the start until 2:00 pm. However, conditions did not improve throughout the afternoon and the decision to cancel the first day was made just after 2:00 pm.
Originally scheduled for 54-holes, the SoCon Championship will be shortened now to 36-holes with the opening round to be plaed at 7:30 am on Monday, April 16 with the final round of play also set to begin at 7:30 am on Tuesday, April 17.
Western Carolina, which is one of just three teams to have captured the tournament title in SoCon Women's Golf Championship history, boasts all five players among the top 16 golfers in scoring average this season entering the event.
