Snowstorm halts Match Play in Arizona

MARANA, Arizona - The best 64 golfers in the world got together for the first time this season and a snow fight broke out.
In the most bizarre episode of a PGA Tour season already filled with wacky weather, the opening round of the Match Play Championship lasted only 3.5 hours Wednesday until it was suspended by a winter storm that covered Dove Mountain with nearly two inches of snow.
“I’ve seen snow on the course when I was a kid, but nothing like that on any of the tours,” said Rory McIlroy, whose match, along with Tiger Woods’, was among those that never got started. AP
