More Weather Woes at Solheim Cup
After a dreadful opening day at the Solheim Cup - not the golf, which was great, but the weather - the Saturday matches were delayed by nearly three hours this morning in Sweden by high winds.
According to the AP, winds were blowing over fences and causing balls to move on the greens. When play finally did get under way in the morning foursomes, the wind was still gusting up to 40 mph.
The foursomes are now complete, and the U.S. and Europe split, two points apiece, so Team USA still leads by one point overall.
Afternoon matches will get started, but the golfers will have to complete the four-balls on Sunday morning, prior to the singles. There's also a chance that the Solheim Cup could be extended into Monday.
