Rain forces Lassies changes

The first round of the Lassies Classic scramble golf tournament couldn't be completed Wednesday, forcing changes to today's final round.

The tournament's afternoon pairings were rained out Wednesday, so the golfers who did not play Wednesday will play 36 holes today. The golfers who were able to finish their round Wednesday will play 18 holes today.

The tournament, which started in 1979, will be played at Cape Girardeau Country Club.
