I think this schedule might get tossed out the window. Not that its not right but the fact that it won't stop raining and the USGA won't play lift clean and place so a Monday may be added sooner than late Sunday. Cuz we are looking at a 3 hour delay at least today. So Round 1 may not get complete today.
