The overnight weather forecast proved accurate ahead of the second major of the year.
FROST HAS DELAYED the start of the 105th US PGA Championship, the year’s second major, at Oak Hill in Rochester.
Tournament organisers released a statement early on Thursday morning which read: “Due to frost, all Oak Hill Country Club practice facilities and the golf course are currently closed.“To protect playing surfaces, everyone on-site must stay off any grass and gates will not open until the frost clears.
The possibility of weather delays had been on the cards since the US PGA was moved from August to May in 2019, with Oak Hill having already been selected as this year’s venue. “There is the possibility of a frost again on Thursday morning. We had a frost Tuesday morning. We had a couple of frosts last week. That may delay the start. Hopefully it won’t. But if it does, we’ll adapt.
