The rain is no new guest for the PGA Tour Champions. Though, a rather unpleasant one indeed! Back in February, the final round of the Chubb Classic had to be canceled due to terrible weather conditions. This was why right after playing 36 holes, Stephen Ames was declared the winner at the event. Looks like this weekend too, rain might end up playing a spoilsport.
The Ascension Charity Classic is scheduled from September 6 to September 8 at the Norwood Hills Country Club. The $2.1 million purse tournament is predicted to encounter weather just as harsh!
