Scattered showers and thunderstorms will drench the golf course on Saturday morning, but breaks in the storms will come in the early afternoon.
"We'll see how things continue to fare," said FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar. "Maybe we get a rain delay, but I think at the most part this is really just going to impact the golfers and how they choose to maneuver that course to get the best outcome."
