NZ Golf Open to be delayed?

10:38 am on 9 November 2010

New Zealand Golf's chief executive Dean Murphy has strongly denied a suggestion that the Open championship won't be played until late next year, rather than January-February, because they haven't been able to find a major sponsor.

After months of speculation about the date and venue for next year's championship, Dean Murphy says they've decided on a venue, which he wouldn't confirm, nor would he say who they've signed as the major sponsor.
