Mother Nature is having the girls way with the Players Shining this week by TPC Sawgrass, and distinctly she’s not about to if you’ll allow up.

Proper thunderstorms washed out much of the to start round from taking place Thurs ., the forecast is not making improvements to on Day 2 about Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. It has left players back in limbo for over 24 hours at present. When not working tee off? Will I exterior 18 holes? What about my once beautiful second round?  

Max Homa took to Twitter to share personnal thoughts mid-storm Thursday. “I’ll be shooting 0 presently #bogeyfree, ” he messaged. Oh, but Max! Its organizers of this event owned different plans for you. Plenty as the pro would have really liked to not tee it up almost all Thursday, he was trotted out doors shortly after 6 p. e. local time to start or perhaps round. He parred the best, birdied the second, and then appreciate was suspended for the day.

Jon Rahm had a different circumstances. He was two under being a seven holes when the vehicle horn first blew Thursday. Raam anand marked his ball certain 41 feet away from the also on the famed 17th green and took a 4-hour break. Another. 45 in. of rain fell over the already-soaked course while advantages sat around, watched TV, played on their phones, and so forth When play resumed really, Rahm bogeyed two of well recognized first three holes.  

“It was just like two rounds I acts as today, ” he believed to reporters immediately after the very big round.  

Ought to be his “second” round, he was at least able to birdie yedi and 9 to finish the wild day things under. When asked about the length of his strong finish and what the program meant for Friday, he lay to rest in the way a lot of pros had to do: “First off, I don’t genuinely know if I’m viewing play tomorrow. ” He has probably right.  

While Rahm combine easily finish his through in time, not everyone had just gotten as casual a close with their evenings. With darkness configuration upon Sawgrass, multiple testing groups raced to finish Thursday for being sleep in Friday time of day (and potentially not be at all until Saturday). Ian Poulter showed off his data transfer rate and was successful to do so.

Can you blame him or her? The iris on the digital cameras makes most action cups seem much brighter than ever they really are in person. But regardless, players played until these companies basically couldn’t see yeast infection. Anything to avoid waking up early on Friday.   Poulter equal seemed to play better, reaching the 17th tee at 4 over before tossing rehabilitation dart for a birdie, after which you’ll nearly chipping in with regards to 18 for another.

Only one assemble from Thursday’s morning trend had to come back and finish a person’s rounds Friday morning. Because fateful threesome: Hank Lebioda, Henrik Norlander and The beauty Pendrith. They played another two holes in a mutual five over (thanks often to Norlander’s double-double finish), proving there’s nothing basic about gearing up all time of day for just two holes.  

The bárbaro reality of start-and-stop golf game is unfortunately going to establish this entire Players Tournament, because Mother Nature is not finished yet. More thunderstorms (seemingly the only bad weather east together with the Mississippi) are expected to hit location Friday morning. Rahm are going sleeping in. Round 1’s afternoon slate will not be. Yet hey, they might get a mid-day nap in!
