Players Championship descend into chaos

The players’ championship of golfers in Ponte Vedra/Florida remains overshadowed by unpredictable weather and puts the organizers in a tight schedule. Heavy rain again forced the starters to an interruption on Friday, 47 players hadn’t even finished their first lap at that point.

Among them was the only German starter, Stephan Jäger. After twelve holes in the $20 million “fifth major”, the Munich player was already four shots over par.

On Friday afternoon (local time), the second day of the game was declared over. The torrential rain will not make it possible to resume tournament action before Saturday, the PGA said.
