GREENSBORO, N.C. – On Friday, Tropical Storm Debby gave way to the Beau Show.
The rain relented, the son peeked out and the Wyndham Championship began in earnest and Beau Hossler took advantage of receptive greens to shoot 10-under 60 at Sedgefield Country Club and gain a four-stroke lead among the players who were able to finish their opening round before play was suspended due to darkness at 8:12 p.m. with 66 players still on the course.
“I was shocked how early we played given how wet it was,” said Kevin Kisner.
Victor Perez echoed that sentiment. “Everything that’s been going on the last few days, I think we’re very lucky to play and I think the course is about as good as they could have done,” he said. “I’m sure the grounds staff was here really early with extra rain at 6:00, so shout-out to them for getting us out there and playing.”
Play is expected to resume on Saturday at 7 a.m., and the second round would begin at 7:40 a.m. With the final tee of the second round expected to tee off at 3:12 p.m., the hope is to complete the second round on Saturday and make a cut and play 36 holes on Sunday.
