Cut Reduced to 50 players and ties for final 36 holes on Sunday

Play was abandoned for the day at the Ricoh Women’s British Open at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, due to high winds. Round two is scheduled to start at 6.50am local time Saturday.

Earlier in the day the Rules Committee declared the scores returned Friday morning null and void in accordance with Rule 33-2d.

The competitors began their round in extremely adverse weather conditions and conditions subsequently worsened despite the belief that they would remain stable.

According to the official statement issued by Susan Simpson, Ladies’ Golf Union Tournament Director: “It would have been unfair to those competitors not to declare play null and void and cancel all scores for the round in question.”
