Fog Delays Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club
On Saturday morning, the Presidents Cup faced an unexpected delay as dense fog rolled across the Royal Montreal Golf Club. After the International team made strides against the United States on Friday, both teams were halted by Mother Nature for over an hour. Play resumed at 9 a.m. ET.
- Initial Progress Halted: The fog interrupted proceedings during two of the four scheduled four-ball matches. Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa, representing the U.S., had just begun their match with Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith from the International team. Meanwhile, Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele were starting their round against Corey Connors and Mackenzie Hughes.
- Scheduled Matches: The day was set to feature four-ball matches in the morning, followed by foursome matches in the afternoon. Sunday is anticipated to host singles matches, where every player will compete to determine the Presidents Cup winner.
The event’s pause underscores the unpredictability of weather in the world of golf, showcasing how even well-laid plans can be disrupted and bringing a unique challenge to the competition.
