Storm prevents play at International Crown

A forecast tropical storm means no play is possible on the third and penultimate day of the International Crown women's golf tournament in South Korea.

Heavy rain and high winds from Tropical Storm Kong-Rey has forced the abandonment of any play on the third day of the LPGA's International Crown teams event in South Korea.

Poor light had previously suspended play at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon on Friday part way through the third round of matches.

Organisers amended the schedule to start the third round matches early in anticipation of the weather deteriorating.

The tournament, which involves eight national teams of four in a match play format, will resume on Sunday.

England lead Pool A on seven points after three wins and a tie, while the United States head Pool B with six points after three wins and a loss.

Australia, who sit third in Pool A with three points, are currently in command of their clash with bottom-placed Chinese-Taipei.

Su Oh and Katherine Kirk were three-up through nine holes while Minjee Lee and Sarah Jane Smith are one-up with eight to play.
