A massive late-summer thunderstorm has delayed the start of the Manitoba Open.
Play was scheduled to begin early Thursday morning at Breezy Bend Country Club, but heavy overnight rain left the course too saturated for the 156 competitors to tee off.
The opening round is now set to begin Friday at 7:30 a.m.
Officials still hope to complete all 72 holes of the PGA Tour Americas event by late Sunday afternoon — weather permitting. The field will be cut to the top 60 players and ties after two rounds.
Two Manitobans are in the field: Braxton Kuntz of Winnipeg and Evan Nachtigall of Brandon. Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie is also competing on a sponsor’s exemption.
More information about the tournament, including ticket details, can be found at manitobaopen.com. Admission is free for spectators under 18.
You can also find specific tee times and an up-to-date leaderboard at pgatour.com/americas/leaderboard.
