It just wouldn’t be the summer of 2009 if weather didn’t play a factor in some way, shape or form. We avoided weather delays and round suspensions the last two tournaments, and apparently Mother Nature wasn’t too happy about being excluded, because she decided to rear her ugly pretty head again at the Wyndham Championship taking place in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Rain Suspends Play, Scores Stay Low
While the rain has completely suspended play, the one thing it hasn’t been able to conquer were people’s low scores before play was called off. While only a few people are actually done with their rounds and dry in the clubhouse, the leaders, Chez Reavie and Brandt Snedeker are currently tied at -6 with more golf left to play once Mother Nature sees fit to let them do so. Could the rain be making scores After the play is resumed even lower? Things could slow down substantially on the greens and shots that look close might actually stay close. Then again, they could be so slow that putting is hard to read. I guess we’ll see when and if the weather sees fit.
Daly Playing Great Golf…Finally
One player, who we actually just talked about today, that is shocking just about everyone that saw that he was entered in the tournament, is our good friend John Daly. While his first round play at Hazeltine led directly to his withdrawl from the tournament, it looks like things might just be turning around as he’s playing the best golf he’s played in weeks and months. So far he’s through the 14th hole and is only 2 strokes off the lead at -4. Whether or not he can keep it up, and whether or not his pre-existing injury will affect the remainder of his round I guess we’ll have to wait and see, but as mentioned, we can’t witness that until the rain stops.
Fingers Crossed We’ll See A Round 1 Finish Today
Keep your fingers crossed things clear up because play is getting better by the hour. Tune in, as always, it’s getting great.
