The final round of the US Open golf tournament has been stopped due to ‘dangerous weather’ on Sunday afternoon.
The play for the US Open golf championship has been stopped due to dangerous weather on Sunday afternoon.
A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with the golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to “dangerous weather.”
The timeline for the delay has not been determined yet.
Play was suspended just after 4 PM ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, forming puddles on the greens. Spectators pulled out umbrellas as golfers played through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Once play stopped, golfers began to leave the course.
While the weather was bright and sunny when the championship started on Friday, with the temperatures reaching 80 degrees during the initial period, rain was predicted for Sunday.
At the stop of play, Sam Burns was on top of the US Open leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott trailed him in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par at the moment.
