Two major golf tournaments were cancelled while a long-awaited fight and 30 more baseball games were postponed as US sports officials debated when to resume play after devastating terrorist attacks. The $ 5 million world golf championships event in St. Louis and the regular US PGA tour stop, the Tampa Bay Classic, were both cancelled yesterday along with senior PGA tour and developmental tour events.
The PGA tour and its members, out of respect for the victims and their families of Tuesday's terrorist actions, have determined that the best course of action is to refrain from playing our normal schedule this week, PGA tour commissioner Tim Finchem said. Major League baseball postponed games set for Wednesday and Friday. Also postponed was world middleweight unification title fight between Puerto Rico's Felix Trinidad and American Bernard Hopkins scheduled in New York Saturday.
