HOUSTON — The best female golfers had to wait 189 days to start the United States Women’s Open after it was pushed back from June to December because of the coronavirus pandemic. So what’s one more day to crown a winner?
A storm blew through Houston on Sunday morning before nearly one-third of the players, including the only four women under par for the tournament, had begun their final rounds. After a two-and-a-half hour suspension, during which Champions Club, in the city’s northwest quadrant, was soaked by almost an inch of rain, United States Golf Association officials postponed play until Monday morning.
