The first-round of the Epson Tour Championship at LPGA International started on time at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday with a light rain. Weather intensified within the first hour and play was suspended at 9:55 a.m. due to heavy rain and subsequent unplayable course conditions.

Tour officials and the LPGA International maintenance staff made every effort to get play back underway, but were forced to call the round for the day at 3:00 p.m. due to the accumulation of rain on the fairways, greens and bunkers and the future forecast.

The first groups that started in the morning finished seven holes. Unofficially, seven players are tied for the lead at 1-under.

The first-round of the Epson Tour Championship will resume on Friday, Oct. 6 at 9:00 a.m.
