SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The weather-plagued LPGA State Farm Classic at Panther Creek Country Club has been delayed again,
with the final round being pushed back until Monday. Cristie Kerr and Anna Nordqvist held the tournament lead Sunday at 20
under. Na On Min, Jee Young Lee, Katie Fetchers, Gladys Nocera and Na Yeon Choi were three shots off the pace.
It was debated whether to award the title to Kerr, the leader after 54 holes, and cancel the fourth round but LPGA rules
official Jim Haley said they will try to finish the 72-hole tournament on Monday. Players will attempt to tee off at 7:30 a.m.
CDT. There is an 80 percent chance of rain on Monday.

"Because so many players finished their 72 holes, we decided to make every effort to give everyone the same chance," Haley
said. "We got more holes in than we thought we would today and it just wouldn't be fair to everyone." Heavy rains fell
Saturday for three hours, which delayed the completion of the third round until Sunday morning.
The tail end of a storm cell moved over the course from the north on Sunday afternoon, creating lightning strikes and more
heavy rain. At 2:46 p.m., the course's storm alert system triggered a halt in play. Officials thought play could resume around
5:30 p.m. Water was cleared off the greens and tee boxes, but another quickly developing storm washed out play for the day.
