PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — (The video above is from an unrelated report)
Play will resume at THE PLAYERS Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach after it was suspended Thursday morning due to thunderstorms.
The first round of THE PLAYERS Championship will resume at 3:15 p.m. Afternoon tee times will be pushed back four hours.
Officials say gates will re-open at 3 p.m., and at that time all ticketed spectators may re-enter the property using their original ticket for the day.
"We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to seeing you back on the course soon," tweeted the official Twitter account.
At the stop of play around 11 a.m., there was a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard between Harold Varner III, Will Zalatoris, and Tommy Fleetwood at -4.
It was during the delay that officials told all spectators to exit the premises for their safety.
THIS WEEKEND: The strongest storms and heaviest rain hit first thing Saturday morning as a cold front bring a squall line.
This front does help to clear us out though for the rest of the weekend (once the rain clears by late morning).
By the lunch hour, skies will be much drier and clouds will begin to clear Saturday afternoon.
