Weather Report for Two Rounds

Starting off on Thursday, the only goal for the players will be to take the lead from the first tee and get an early lead. For the first day, the average temperature will be pleasant at 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the cloud cover of 69% and 55% probability of precipitation is what will be the worry for the players and fans. As per the report of AccuWeather, apart from precipitation, a 33% chance exists of thunderstorms that could also result in a delay. Even to make it more miserable, the wind of 6 miles with gusts of 11.8 will become a challenge.

For the second round, 97% cloud cover and 96% chances of rain are what will be the result of an interruption in play stoppage. Even if the delay is for a shorter duration, the high winds and gusts with low temperatures will make it tough for the players to continue the play. With 8mph wind and 13mph wind gusts on a 62.6 F temperature, it will not be easy to maintain a low score.
