The PGA Championship is well underway. After a busy Day 2 at Oak Hill Country Club on Friday, the golfers are nearing the final stretch as Round 3 is scheduled for Saturday.
While many are wondering who will make and miss the cut, viewers should keep an eye on the weather forecast for the third day of the tournament before placing any bets.
Oak Hill Country Club Weather
Like any sporting event that takes place outdoors, the PGA Championship is susceptible to the weather. That was certainly the case last month at Augusta, where'inclement weather conditions'halted and delayed play several times during The Masters.
Due to its location in upstate New York near Lake Ontario, Oak Hill can be impacted by lake effects like heavy precipitation, cooler temperatures, and generally unpredictable weather. That can make navigating an already-challenging course even harder fo r golfers, who may have to play through cold, windy conditions.
PGA Championship Weather Saturday Round 3
Unfortunately for the golfers and attendees at Oak Hill, the weather forecast for Day 3 of the tournament on Saturday doesn't look too promising. According to'AccuWeather, the forecast calls for a cold spring day with temperatures only reaching up to 62 degrees. There's a 96% chance of precipitation that's supposed to last from 10 a.m. until around 4 p.m.
Saturday looks'considerably colder than Friday, which nearly reached 80 degrees. The weather is projected to be windier as well, with gusts reaching up to 38 miles per ho ur. Golfers will need to be mindful of the wind when teeing off and factor it in when approaching the green.
