BOULDER CITY, Nev.— The Colorado Mesa University women's golf team finished fourth in the final standings of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championships after extreme winds forced the tournament here at the Boulder Creek Golf Course to be cut short.
Tuesday's play started earlier than planned at 7:30 a.m. local time and was divided into two 9-hole round per United States Golf Association rules. Conditions started out calm but winds kicked up the later the day went and eventually rose to 25 miles-per-hour with gusts of nearly 40.
Play was halted when officials received reports of the balls rolling off the greens.
All 58 players from the ten teams were able to complete their first nine holes, the results of which were used to determine the third round scores for both the team and individual standings.
Eighteen of the tournament's players, including all six Mavs, were still on the course having completed between 12 and 16 holes.
Seven teams had completed their rounds, but had the scores from the 10
