The LPGA’s Toto Japan Classic was hit hard by Tropical Storm Man-Yi, causing chaos with torrential rains and swirling winds. The event had to be cut short to a 54-hole showdown due to the devastating impact of the storm.
The relentless downpour and fierce winds turned the once picturesque Seta Golf Club course into an unplayable obstacle course. As a result, tournament organizers had no choice but to slash the competition from its intended 72-hole glory to a 54-hole battle.
This isn’t the first time Mother Nature has thrown a curveball at an LPGA event. Back in 2018, Typhoon Trami wreaked havoc in China, leading to the unfortunate cancellation of the Reignwood Classic.
In the face of adversity, the unwavering spirit of the tournament officials shines through. They are resolute in their mission to create a level playing field for the talented LPGA athletes, despite the harsh weather conditions. The new format will see the completion of three intense rounds, culminating in an exciting finish scheduled for Sunday. Situation TBD.

Rory McIlroy has expressed his surprise at the selection of Keegan Bradley as the next captain of the United States Ryder Cup team. McIlroy, a four-time major winner and former world number one, said that Bradley is an “interesting pick” for the role and that he did not see it coming.
“I think it’s an interesting pick,” McIlroy said. “He’s a great player, but I don’t think he has a lot of experience in leadership roles. I’m not sure what his vision is for the team, but I’m sure he’s going to do a great job.”
McIlroy also said that he is looking forward to playing against Bradley in the Ryder Cup.
“I think it’s going to be a great competition,” McIlroy said. “The U.S. team is always strong, and I’m sure Keegan is going to have them fired up. We’re going to have to be at our best to beat them.”
