Rainy Weather Could Wreak Havoc On PGA Championship Rounds

The PGA Championship got underway today at Charlotte's Quail Hollow Club, where weather is "threatening to wreak havoc" on the event, with "poor conditions predicted for at least parts of all four rounds." Today's forecast calls for a 40% percent chance of rain, with a 70% chance tomorrow, 30% Saturday and 60% Sunday. The PGA has been "forced by weather to a Monday finish three times," most recently in '05 (N.Y. POST, 8/10).

Meanwhile, tournament attendees "might be surprised to find out that there is no recycling option at Quail Hollow Club for their cans and bottles." The lack of recycling is "upsetting some fans and volunteers." Tournament Dir Jason Mengel in a statement said the tournament understands the "importance of recycling and will be looking at ways to incorporate this important element in the future" (CHARLOTTE OBSERVER, 8/10).
