The third session of the Presidents Cup was delayed just after it started. Keyur Khamar/PGA TOUR via Getty Images Those who woke up early to watch the first action of the Presidents Cup’s third session Saturday morning may have been disappointed. After the first match completed the first hole and the second was walking to their opening tee shots, PGA Tour officials blew the horn at Royal Montreal, suspending play shortly after 7:20 a.
m. ET due to heavy fog. Playing in the second group, Tony Finau, playing alongside Xander Schauffele in the fourballs session, had to look to the jumbotron to follow his tee shot, which found the fairway anyway.
His opponents, Canadians Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes, both went well left with their drives, but the home crowd, unable to see where the ball was going, roared with cheers both times. The PGA Tour initially hoped to keep the players in place while they waited for the fog to lift, even putting the first group in a hospitality suite near the 2nd tee, but after about 15 minutes, both of the first two groups were pulled off the golf course, as players were still allowed to use the range. Saturday’s official PGA Tour forecast prepared by meteorologist Wade Stettner called for partly cloud skies and a high of 70F degrees.
