Opening round at Evian Championship cancelled due to weather


(Reuters) - The final women's golf major of the year has been reduced to a 54-hole tournament after significant rain, strong winds and wet course conditions forced the cancellation of the first round at Evian-les-Bains, France, on Thursday.

World number one Ryu So-yeon of South Korea and Jessica Korda were leading the Evian Championship at two under through six and eight holes respectively, when play was halted. World number three Park Sung-hyun of South Korea was at six over through five holes.
