PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — The opening round of the tenth annual Meijer LPGA Classic at Blythfield Country Club hit a snag Thursday morning less than an hour into play.
Tournament organizers announced play was suspended because of dangerous weather in the nearby area at 7:50 a.m. FOX 17 Radar shows a small cell of rain moving through north of the golf course after 7:30 a.m. with another area of rain moving on-shore in Muskegon County.
The delay is a blow for the start of West Michigan's only LPGA event. Last year the Classic saw a record 70,000 plus fans watch the world's top women golfers.
