The 2022 PGA Championship is currently underway at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma. And after round one, Rory McIlroy leads the event with a score of -5. The conditions were diabolic, specifically the winds on day one. Moreover, we can expect similar conditions with more gutsy winds during the second round.

But how will he be the weather conditions for the third and fourth rounds? Will players get some relief from the strong winds? Or will it continue to give nightmares? Well, as of now, the forecast for tomorrow doesn’t look great. There is a substantial chance of thunderstorms in Tulsa, especially in the morning.

According to accuweather.com, the wind speed might be around 25 to 30 mph during round three. Moreover, the conditions will remain cloudy throughout the day. Therefore, the temperature will not be like what we have seen in the past couple of days. 

For the final round, there is a chance of precipitation early in the morning. However, the conditions will start improving as the day progresses. Also, the wind gusts will probably remain the same between 20 to 30 mph. But an interesting thing to note is that the direction of the wind might change on the final day. Hence, this could change the whole conditions and difficulties of the golf course.
