PURE SILK-BAHAMAS SHORTEN TO 54 HOLE - 高爾夫球

PURE SILK-BAHAMAS LPGA CLASSIC SHORTENED TO 54 HOLES


Mother Nature became the story at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic afternoon
as nearly a foot of rain fell on the Ocean Club Golf Course at Atlantis,
Paradise Island between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Tuesday.

大自然成為這次Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic的主角，在禮拜二的3p.m.到11p.m.之間
球場當地下了將近1英尺的雨。(1英尺約等於30cm)


In the wake of violent storms, significant amounts of standing water remai
at least seven holes with the ninth and 18th fairways completely flooded. Crews
began work overnight to remove the water and the efforts to clear debris and
make the golf course playable are on-going.

在強烈暴風雨的侵襲下，至少七個球道有大量的水淤積，其中第9和18洞的球道更是完全被
淹沒。工作人員努力了整夜盡量的設法去除球道的狀況，使得球賽能夠繼續下去。


As a result of the last 24 hours, the inaugural Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic
has been shortened to a 54-hole event beginning on Friday. First and
second-round pairings will remain the same with a 36-hole cut made on Saturday
night.

不過由於過去24小時的情形，球賽決定開始於禮拜五並且縮短為54-hole。
第一輪和第二輪的配對將不改變，第一次的cut將在周六(第二輪)。


“Mentally, you’re still in it although physically you can’t do anything
today at the course,” said Suzann Pettersen. “I’m happy I got 18 hol
practice in yesterday. We will play whenever we can.”

Pettersen表示:
精神上我們仍在球場上，雖然我們今天無法下場。我很高興我昨天仍然練習了18洞，
我們隨時準備好開始比賽。


Many homes, cars and roadways in Nassau were flooded on Tuesday in what locals
are calling the worst storm in the last 20 years.

當地稱這次的暴風雨是20年來最糟糕的，許多家園、車子、道路都淹水


“You can’t feel guilty about not practicing or playing today because no one
is allowed out there,” said Stacy Lewis. “I certainly wish for the tournament
’s sake that we could have played the pro-am. First-year events have some
bumps and we always get through them. This is no different.”

Stacy說:
對於今天無法下場練習，你不能加諸任何的罪名，因為大家什麼都不能做。
我很期盼在午夜過後比賽能夠順利進行。
第一年的比賽總是會有些狀況，但我們總是能克服，跟其他比賽沒有什麼不一樣的。


There is a 60 percent chance for more rain showers on Wednesday afternoon and
into Thursday. Tournament officials continue to monitor the weather and course
conditions with safety for golfers and spectators as the first priority.

禮拜三中午至禮拜四還是有60%的機會將會落下大雨。官方將持續監控天氣和球場狀況並
且以球員和觀眾的安全為第一優先。
