Heavy fog suspends play quickly Saturday at Presidents Cup

by admin

Two matches teed off Saturday morning in the Presidents Cup before play was suspended because of fog.

Officials blew the horn just before 7:30 a.m. ET, roughly 25 minutes after the start of Day 3 fourballs. Players were removed from the course.

Scottie Scheffler/Collin Morikawa (USA) and Adam Scott/Taylor Pendrith (INT) tied the opening hole of the first match. Xander Schauffele/Tony Finau (USA) and Mackenzie Hughes/Corey Conners (INT) hit their tee shots in the second match before play was suspended.

Mark Dusbabek, the PGA Tour’s lead TV rules and video analyst, said visibility on the course deteriorated from 1 mile to a half-mile after play initially began. As for a when play will restart, he said, “It’s going to be a while.”

The two teams are tied at 5-5 after each had a session sweep over the first two days. Saturday will see four fourball and then four foursomes matches.
