Nothing like a bit of sunshine

Covered for three days by a ferocious dark sky, pounded with relentless rain, and advertised by many in the press as potentially the worst Major championship in 25 years, the 94th US PGA Championship had a stunning metamorphosis in yesterday’s opening round.

Ridiculed by many, it was anything but the calamity it was predicted to be.

Quite the opposite, it was tremendous theatre and the thanks goes to those two flavourful forces that need to come to fruition — brilliant weather at a seaside course and notable names at every turn of the head.
