Just heard CLOSED to spectators today due to heat

Not heat.

A massive storm overnight has suspended the third round of the AT&T National because of several trees on the ground at Congressional. Officials say even if the course gets ready, fans will not be allowed Saturday.

The storm caused power outages and downed trees throughout the region.

Among the problems at Congressional were scattered trees, including a 75-foot tree that crashed down on the 14th hole fairway. Nearly every fairway, especially on the back nine, was littered with limbs -- large and small.

Some tents were blown over, and the wooden sign identifying the 11th hole was ripped from its post on the tee box.

"Winds in the range of 70-80 mph were reported," according to a statement issued by the PGA Tour. "No confirmation has been made on a tornado. There are trees and tents down all over the course and roads leading to the course. Clean-up has begun. Electricity is out at the course."

Volunteers also have been told to stay home Saturday.

Tournament officials will honor all Saturday tickets on Sunday. Workers were trying to get the course ready through the night, though it was unclear if it would be ready for Saturday.

"At this time, it's unknown if competition will take place today," according to Saturday's statement. "Competition will definitely resume on Sunday."

CSN set.

Good riddance!

Saw a guy do the same thing at the Open last year, he was lucky he wasn't decapitated.

A volunteer marshall at the AT&T National golf tournament at Bethesda’s Congressional Country Club was injured Friday morning when he drove a golf cart into one of the nylon ropes that separate the course from the areas for fans, suffering a severe cut to his neck.

“He’d been going full force,” said Rick Elion, a doctor from Bethesda who happened to be nearby. “The twine hit him just below the chin.”

Elion said the man’s arteries were cut on both sides of his neck, and he was bleeding profusely. Elion and others nearby helped slow the bleeding by wrapping the man’s jacket around his neck, he said. A fan called 911, and medical personnel stationed at the tournament site soon arrived.

Emergency responders took the volunteer to an area hospital, according to a statement from tournament director Greg McLaughlin.

It was buried in the post, rather than in the thread title. But yeah, slacking.

Is there any tv coverage right now?

There was actually an announcement today that it's being renamed to the Web.com Tour.

Four actually, but sadly only 3 in HD.

Both my parents and my in-laws have no power. I have a feeling casa de EAM is going to be crowded tonight.
