Cancelling a round is always a difficult decision. The Rules Committee at the tournament discussed it for quite a while before coming to the conclusion that the conditions were such that a competition could not be conducted in that wind. As Kristin stated, the conditions in the morning were extremely difficult and there was no forecast for the wind to die down before the evening.

The primary factors were that balls were beginning to move on the greens and were getting very diffcult to spot when they were being replaced and that the pace of play would be so affected that we would be unable to finish that evening. Since we could not come back the next day, we chose to cancel the final round.
