Inaugural Bahamas LPGA event deluged by rain

Thumbnail

It’s likely that when the LPGA signed on for its first-ever event in the Bahamas, the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, tournament organizers expected a week of sunny skies with breathtaking island scenery.

Instead, with the inaugural event slated to begin Thursday, organizers have received rain – and lots of it. According to reports, the course at Paradise Island received more than 12 inches of rain Tuesday night, washing out Wednesday’s pro-am. As the photos below can attest, a large amount of work remains simply to get the course in playing condition for Thursday’s opening round:
