LPGA CANCELS TOUR EVENT IN MEXICO BECAUSE OF DANGER

The LPGA has cancelled this year's $1.3 million Tres Marias Championship in Mexico because of concerns about the safety of its members through violence linked to the drug trade.
"We hope to return next year, but would need to see significant improvement from a safety perspective," an LPGA spokesman said.
The 72-hole tournament had been scheduled for April 21-24 in Morelia, located in north-central Mexico, where violence linked to drug cartels has been an ongoing problem.
