Four consecutive days of weather delays fragment scoring splits at The Players

High winds wreak havoc on golfers at The Players

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The luck of the draw is as much a part of professional golf as pro-ams and courtesy cars. But this week’s split hit a little harder than normal.

The result of four consecutive days of weather delays and fragmented play is a scoring split that’s normally only seen at the Open Championship. The early-late wave to start the week was able to complete Round 1 on Thursday before storms halted play and that half of the field largely watched as the late-early wave struggled through three days of wind, rain and bitterly cold temperatures.
