High wind cancels play at Bermuda Championship with Smotherman and Power tied
for lead
SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) --- Raging wind at Port Royal canceled golf on Sunday
at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, leaving PGA Tour officials to figure
out how to conclude a tournament with Austin Smotherman and Seamus Power tied
for the lead.
Gusts topped 40 mph (65 kph) in the morning, and none of the 72 players who
made the cut was able to tee off. Officials decided a few hours later to cancel
play. The forecast for Monday was not any better, which ordinarily would lead
to the event being reduced to 54 holes.
Smotherman and Power were tied for the lead, however. And there was a charter
flight leaving Bermuda on Monday morning for Vallarta, Mexico, the next stop on
the PGA Tour schedule. Power and Smotherman are both in the field next week.
One possibility was a playoff early Monday to decide a winner, provided the
weather allowed. Officials were expected to decide by the end of Sunday.
