LEAWOOD, Kansas- Second-round play of the $100,000 Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City was cancelled today due to forecast rain in the area. Final-round play began at 8:45 a.m. local time at the Leawood South Country Club.
Duramed Futures Tour professionals returned to the Leawood South Country Club this morning to finish second-round play after it was suspended on Saturday due to the course being rendered unplayable. Players were repaired for the final round based on first-round results.
