The Conditions at Aronimink are Here to Stay

I had myself a wonderful walk around Aronimink’s front nine on Thursday following Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Jon Rahm. The weather was perfect, and at the time, the wind was nothing more than a slight breeze. But that changed in the afternoon, and Friday morning has been even more brutal.

Without rain in the forecast, and unless the PGA of America decides to put some water on them, the greens are going to turn into skating rinks over the weekend. Plus, the wind is here to stay.

For Saturday’s third round, the wind will top out at 11 MPH. Now, that may not sound like a lot, but that breeze comes with gusts up to 26 MPH, according to Windy.com. And for Sunday’s final round, gusts will reach the low 20s. However, it will calm down a bit after the leaders tee off.

The good news for the players and fans who plan to be on property, temperatures should reach the 80s for the last two days.

If you enjoy tough major championships played in conditions, get in front of a television as soon as possible.
