Texas weather delaying LPGA Tour Championship

FROM THE LPGA TOUR WEBSITE
The second round of the LPGA Tour Championship Presented by Rolex at The Houstonian Golf & Country Club, Texas was supposed to tee off at 7 a.m. Friday morning. A six-hour rain delay pushed the start time to 1 p.m. Friday and play was then suspended for darkness after 5 p.m. that evening.
Second-round play was completely washed-out on Saturday and delayed again on Sunday morning until 12:05 p.m. due to unplayable course conditions.
As of Sunday evening at 5:21 p.m. when play was again suspended due to darkness, 35 players still need to complete their second rounds. Play will resume on Monday morning at 7 a.m (local time) and a cut will be made to low 70 and ties before players re-tee for the final round with an expected finish time of 4 p.m. local.
Later news: All the players have now completed their second rounds. Only those with 36-hole totals of 147 qualified to go out again for the third and final round.
