Australian golfer Jess Whitting has claimed an unofficial Ladies European Tour (LET) title after the final round of the Australian Women's Classic was abandoned at Bonville Golf Resort in Coffs Harbour.
A wild storm that lashed the Coffs Coast on Saturday night dumped a further 80mm of rain on the Bonville golf course, taking the total tally of rainfall to more than 200mm in the past 72 hours.
After an inspection of the course and lengthy deliberation, officials from the Ladies European Tour, WPGA Tour of Australasia and Golf NSW made the decision to cancel the final round.
Whitting, Denmark's Nicole Broch Estrup and Taiwan's Peiying Tsai were declared the joint winners after their rounds of six-under 66 on Saturday.
