Saturday Play at LPGA Event in Japan Washed Out Because of Tropical Storm

Torrential rain and strong winds force cancellation of second round at Toto Japan Classic

The second round of the LPGA's Toto Japan Classic was washed out on Saturday due to a tropical storm that brought torrential rain and strong winds to the area. The storm, which is expected to continue through Sunday, has also forced the cancellation of the third round.

Tournament officials are hopeful that the final round can be played on Monday

Tournament officials are hopeful that the final round can be played on Monday, but that will depend on the weather conditions. If the weather does not improve, the tournament will be shortened to 54 holes.

The cancellation of the second round is a major disappointment for the players, who were looking forward to competing on the challenging Seta Golf Course. The course is known for its narrow fairways and undulating greens, and it is considered to be one of the most difficult courses on the LPGA Tour.

The Toto Japan Classic is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the LPGA Tour. It is the only LPGA event held in Japan, and it attracts a strong field of players each year. The tournament is also a major economic driver for the region, and its cancellation will have a significant impact on the local economy.
