TROON, Scotland -- The Scottish weather turned the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon Golf Club into a day of survival on Saturday.
Ireland's Shane Lowry went from being the leader to ninth place in what seemed like a blink of an eye. The 2019 Open Championship winner wasn't the only one who fell victim to cold rain and stiff winds, especially on the second nine.
"That's the hardest nine holes I think you could ever play in golf right now," said two-time major championship winner Dustin Johnson.
While clearer skies are expected for the final round on Sunday, wind might still be a factor.
