The 2024 Open Championship R4: Billy Horschel & Other Pros to Yet Again Suffer Under Royal Troon’s Unforgiving Conditions

First wind, now rain; the Open Championship is causing real pain. The final hours of the Saturday round play showed the worst weather at the Royal Troon. Battling with the weather, Billy Horschel climbed the leaderboard and made his way to the top, scoring a 2 under 69 in the penultimate round. With the weather constantly disrupting the play, it will not be a surprise if the conditions persist during the last round as well. The final major of the year is truly proving to be the climax of a story with so many unpredictabilities and changes in the scorecard after every single round, thanks to the adverse weather. With this, one might involuntarily think: will the final round see the bad side of weather gods once again?

What are the reports saying? Well, the Sunday round will not have much luck in seeing the sun. The sun is anticipated to make a short appearance somewhere between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. BST. During this time, 9 to 11 mph winds might be felt, with temperatures ranging to 55-57F. The possibility of rain is little at less than 10%.

Until 3 p.m. BST, the weather is expected to be normal with the absence of the sun. The temperature might rise to 60F and during this phase, and gods might toy with the winds as wind gusts might touch the upper limit of 24 mph. Winds are expected to flow from the southwest direction. The chances of water pouring from the sky are expected to slightly increase to 10-20%.

Now comes the worst part of the day as from 4 p.m. onwards, the precipitation probability increases and touches a maximum of 70%. As a result, the temperature range might dip a little at 56-60F. The winds might also change direction between 8 and 11 p.m. BST; first to the south, then south-southeast, and finally to the southeast. In these weather conditions, many golf enthusiasts might want to enjoy the final round from their homes. But how to do so?
