LPGA Texas Classic shortened to 36 holes because of rain

THE COLONY, Texas (AP) — The LPGA Texas Classic has been shortened to 36 holes after two days of rain. The postponed first round was expected to start late Friday.

The LPGA made the announcement on Twitter. Officials hope the tournament will be completed on Sunday.

If begins Friday, it will be without fans because of the course conditions and unpaved parking areas.
