CHIBA, Japan – Nearly 7 inches of rain flooded Narashino Country Club on Friday and will force the season’s first Monday finish at the Zozo Championship.
Officials announced the second round at the first-year event is scheduled to start at 9:30 a.m. (local). According to PGA Tour regulations, the tournament will carry over to Monday to complete 72 holes.
After rain from Typhoon Bualoi forced the cancelation of play Friday the storm intensified and left multiple holes at Narashino under water.
The course will be closed to spectators Saturday but officials plan to allow fans on the course Sunday and Monday.
Tiger Woods and Gary Woodland share the first-round lead at 6 under.

Coverage will be shown from 10:30 p.m. ET - 2:30 a.m. ET. Round 2 will only be played Friday night. We will continue to provide updates as needed.
