Golf:The weather-hit Viking Classic was cancelled today after the waterlogged Annandale Golf Club in Madison, Mississippi was lashed by more rain overnight.
More than 26 inches of rain have saturated the par-72 course over the last month and officials abandoned any chance of the tournament going ahead.
The last time a PGA Tour event was cancelled and not rescheduled was the 1996 Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
In 1991 the Houston Open was completely rained out before being moved from April to October when South African Fulton Allem claimed the title.
