Kemper Open hit by rain delays start at Sutton
The Kemper Open golf tournament at Pleasant Valley Country Club, a 150000 event, was delayed as nearly an inch of rain drenched the course. Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino led the pro field, while many top money winners skipped the event, citing scheduling conflicts and soggy conditions. A charity donation was announced for Makalena, injured in Hawaii, as players weighed a growing rift with the PGA amid a closed-door meeting.
