Golf: Late start rule suspended

The PGA has suspended a rule that resulted in golfer Jim Furyk's disqualification from last week's Barclays Classic for being late to his pro-am starting time.

Should a player be late for his pro-am starting time for the remainder of the season, the player will be required to participate in the remainder of the pro-am round and may be required to perform additional sponsor activity, PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said.
