SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda – PGA Tour officials have moved up tee times and will send players off the first and 10th tees in threesomes at the Bermuda Championship, to try and avoid an approaching storm front.
Play will begin at 7:45 a.m. (local time) and the leaders will head out at 9:57 a.m. with a forecast that calls for a 70% chance of rain and wind gusts to 30 mph starting at 2 p.m. The bigger concern for officials is thunderstorms that are expected to accompany the wind and rain.
It’ll be a similar scene to Thursday’s opening round at Port Royal Golf Course, when driving rain lashed the early starters.
