Wicked!

It was wicked weather.  Imagine that you are inside a refrigerator with 30-35mph howling winds and non- stop rain for 18 holes...  That was the weather condition for the bulk of the players at St. George's 2011 Open Championship today.  I was in a semi frozen state despite the fact that i was dressed in thermal wear, pullover, water proofs, beanie and gloves. Freezing and wet is an understatement!  The winds were gusty and seeking shelter in a links course is not exactly easy.  Welcome to British summer!

I watched Ricky Fowler with his "mega gloves" try to hold down the umbrella towards the 9th tee and he was just totally drenched.

Rory  McIlroy unraveled at the back 9 ending the 3rd day with a 4 over par while Ricky did wonderful at 2 under par considering the weather condition.

Adam Scott who, was celebrating his birthday today, was not spared and dropped a few shots before ending the day at even par.

It was a huge struggle not just for the players but for all the spectators who braved the brutal weather . I must have been standing under the cold and rain for at least 6 hours before i finally saw the sky clear up.

Darren Clarke

By the time Darren Clarke teed off, the sun started to come out.  This must have contributed to Darren Clarke's game.  He was steady all the way and ended with a 5 under par and topping today's leaderboard.

Tomorrow is the final day and the weather forecast is even stronger rains.  Lovely!
