Rain forces Monday finish for Australian PGA

Hot on the heels of Aussie Golfer reporting on Australian golf courses turning into giant water hazards comes the disruption of the Australian PGA Championship due to heavy rain.

It has been a strange tournament with Adam Scott, John Daly and Michael Sim all missing the cut, and grey-nomads in Peter Senior and Peter Fowler turning back the clock to have a chance of winning the tournament. You could be forgiven for thinking you were back in the early 90s.

Richard Green and Geoff Ogilvy are lurking though and with the tournament extending to a fifth day, the old blokes may not last the distance.

The highlight of the tournament so far was the action on the par-3 14th on Friday. A Volkswagon is on offer for a hole-in-one and was nicely perched on the water next to the green. Thai golfer Yeh Weitze hooked his tee shot straight through the back window of the car. Reportedly, everyone but Weitze was laughing.
