WGC-Accenture Match Play Snow Delay


Looks like there is a dusting of snow on the ground at Dove Mountain right now.

It’s starting to melt already, though, and play for the final day of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship is scheduled to begin on time.

Luke Donald, who will play Martin Kaymer, in the championship at 12:20 p.m. MT (2:20 p.m. ET) had this to say on Twitter: Check out the snow, pre round snow ball fight to see who has the honor off the first??

Bubba Watson, who faces Matt Kuchar in the consolation finals at 12:05 p.m. MT (2:05 p.m. ET) tweeted this: Yessiree it snowed last night!!! That was green grass now all snow.

“Aim for the blue sky” was Nick Faldo’s tweet.

And here’s the weather forecast. The current temperature is 39 degrees with a high in the mid-50s expected. There could be a shower in the morning but partly cloudy skies are expected in the afternoon. The winds will be out of the west at 10-20 mph.
