Final Round of the Doral Open Is Postponed Because of Storm
Wind, rain and lightning Sunday blunted the dual charges of Jack Nicklaus and Curtis Strange and delayed until today the completion of the Doral Open.
Andy Bean and lefty Russ Cochran shared the lead at 11 under par when a severe thunderstorm forced a delay in play. Those two, along with 20 others, marked their positions and are scheduled to return this morning to complete the tournament.
It marks the first time since the 1988 Canadian Open that a regular-tour event has been extended a day. Today’s forecast calls for clearing and a high in the 70s.
Strange, whose last victory came in the 1989 U.S. Open, was one stroke off the pace at 10 under par with six holes to play. Nicklaus was at nine under par with five to go.
