Round One of the National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship Suspended, Two Separate Competitions Created
DALLAS, TX –
Because of inclement weather conditions that began Monday afternoon, the NTPGA Rules Committee declared the 2017 National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship two separate competitions. The wave that teed off during the morning of Round 1 is now a 36-hole competition, and the wave that teed off in the afternoon of Round 1 is an 18-hole competition. The purse will be split between the two waves based on teams in the wave.
Players from the AM wave who were still on the golf course when play was suspended at 1:43 p.m. completed the remainder of Round 1. Because these players were able to complete their round, players from the AM wave of Round 1 will be re-paired by score within the wave and begin Round 2 play on Tuesday at 12:40 p.m. Pairings for tomorrow can be found here.
Players from the afternoon wave of Round 1 who had already begun their round will resume play on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. from the location where play was discontinued. The 1:50 p.m. tee time from round one who had not yet teed off will begin play at 8:40 a.m. on Tuesday, and the remaining pairings will follow in 10-minute intervals.
The Four-Ball Stroke Play Northern Texas PGA major championship is being conducted at Bent Tree Country Club and features a field of 86 teams of one PGA professional teamed with one scratch amateur. The 36-hole competition has 38 teams and the 18-hole competition has 48 teams.
Teams are competing for a share of the $25,900 purse. Amateurs will be awarded gift certificates. The National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship is presented by Adventures In Golf, AHEAD, AT&T Byron Nelson, Earth Networks, imavex, Mizuno USA and Volvik.
