More Weather: NCAA Eliminates Stroke Play Round
/The thunderstorms won't let up in Hutchinson, causing the cancellation of Monday's round devoted solely to identifying an individual champion before Tuesday and Wednesday's team match play.
The media advisory:
Due to weather conditions, Round 4 of competition (low 40 individuals and ties) at the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships has been cancelled. Every effort is going to be made for all 156 players to complete 54 holes. After completion of the second-round today, teams 16-30 and high three individuals will begin third round play in a shotgun format approximately 40 minutes after the completion of round two. There is a limited amount of time to complete this half of the round (teams 16-30 and three higher individuals). If play is unable to be completed in that window, all scores in that round will be declared null and void. In such a case, round three will be repaired to include only teams 1-15 and the six low individuals not on those teams (based on non-sudden death tie breaking procedures) to determine the eight teams for match play and the individual champion.
