The first spherical of the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., is battling a formidable opponent: Tropical Storm Debby.
The highly effective storm that made its second landfall in a single day, bringing torrential rain and heavy wind to North Carolina, has delayed the beginning of the event at Sedgefield Nation Membership by not less than eight hours.
Spherical 1 tee instances, which have been scheduled to begin at 6:50 a.m. E.T., have been pushed again to no sooner than 3 p.m.
In response to an replace on the PGA Tour’s web site, on-site meteorologist Stewart Williams stated the rain “started between 2:30-3 a.m. on Thursday. As of 8 a.m., a complete of two inches had already fallen at Sedgefield with sustained winds of 15-25 mph and gusts between 30-40 mph.”
The Tour stated the subsequent replace on the first-round plan is scheduled for midday ET.
In response to the Nationwide Hurricane Heart, Debby got here ashore early Thursday within the space round Bulls Bay, S.C. The storm first made landfall as a Class 1 hurricane on Florida’s Gulf Coast on Monday.
On Wednesday, with the storm looming, the Tour already had made the choice to ban followers from attending the primary spherical.
