Everyone's a winner as Korean event rained off

11 Jul, 2011

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, organisers 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.
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.
