SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Weather continues to be a problem for the WM Phoenix Open. After the Annexus Pro-Am was canceled Wednesday, the first round of the WM Phoenix Open was suspended Thursday just after noon after severe weather soaked greens and flooded parking lots.
Play was expected to resume at 4 p.m., the PGA Tour tweeted:
Event organizers also announced that all of the grass field parking lots would be closed Thursday because they're too soaked to use.
Primary general parking will be at the Westworld and Salt River Fields. All parking and shuttles are free. People with parking passes for lots 2-6 are instead being directed to park at the northwest corner of Hayden and Mayo.
You can find a parking map and recommendations here.
