MAINVILLE, Ohio -- The University of Michigan women's golf team's second round of the Big Ten Championships was canceled Saturday (April 20) due to overnight rains creating unplayable conditions at the TPC River's Bend and more inclement weather expected in the afternoon.
The conference tournament will now be reduced to 36 holes, with the final round starting Sunday (April 21) starting with tee times at 8 a.m. The Wolverines will be paired with Purdue and Michigan State, which both tallied 297 first-round team totals. The trio will start off the No. 1 tee at 8:54 a.m.
"Unfortunately, the course was unplayable and the round was canceled for the day," said U-M head coach Jan Dowling. "Our focus has shifted to tomorrow and we are prepared to give this championship our best shot. We have an exciting Sunday."
