GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club, originally scheduled to start Thursday, will now have its first round delayed to Friday due to Tropical Storm Isaias, tournament officials announced Wednesday.
The storm, which has already caused widespread flooding and power outages in its wake, is expected to bring heavy rain and wind to the Greensboro area Thursday. As a result, the PGA Tour has made the decision to close the course to fans for the opening round.
First-round tee times will remain the same for Friday, with players set to begin play at 7:10 a.m. ET. However, tournament officials are still monitoring the storm’s progress and may make further adjustments to the schedule if necessary.
A fan was ejected from the Rocket Mortgage Classic golf tournament after picking up a pro golfer’s ball that had landed near his feet, incurring a two-stroke penalty for the golfer. The incident occurred on the 16th hole of the tournament’s first day, after Tony Finau’s tee shot had veered into the gallery. While the ball remained in play, a fan picked it up and handed it to Finau, resulting in the automatic penalty.
