I meant stopping the play altogether, if it's raining in football it's at least the same for both teams etc.
It happens more often than you might think, also they will stop if the rain has waterlogged the course.
So then ToonArmy1892 was right cricket is the only sport in which rain decides the outcome of a sport.
Well that was my point, if it rains they will just extend the tournament a day or days to fit it in, unlike cricket.
It was decided by the rain as at the start of the competition the winner wasn't going to be who had the least shots after 3 rounds but who had the least shots after 4 rounds.
That's not the same as the rain deciding the outcome. Essentially the golfer with the least shots still won.
But that's like saying a football match abandoned at half time due to whatever is unaffected as the score at half time counted as the final score.
Not really they've completed 3 rounds... if one golfer is ahead , it rains and they call it a draw that's the only comparison.
An abandoned football match gets replayed, at the top level, even if it got abandoned in the 89th minute.
