PGA Tour Makes Troubling Weather Announcement Before Charles Schwab Challenge
With the year's second major tournament in the rearview, the PGA Tour shifts its focus to the Charles Schwab Challenge taking place at Colonial Country Club in Dallas. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler decided he didn't need any extra time to celebrate his five-shot PGA Championship victory, and the Texas native will be teeing it up in his backyard this week. Four other golfers, though, decided to withdraw from the tournament just two days before the competition. Advertisement The PGA Tour Communications department announced that brothers Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard, Zach Johnson, and Will Zalatoris won't compete this weekend. Akshay Bhatia, William Mouw, Camilo Villegas and Dylan Wu are the beneficiaries of the openings and will play in the tournament starting May 22. That wasn't all from the PGA Tour's communications account, though. The weather outlook for the Charles Schwab Challenge's first round starts off well for the early tee times, but trouble looms in the afternoon. "Increasing moister and a weak disturbance aloft is expected to set off clusters of rain and thunderstorms to our north along the TX/OK state line after 2 p.m," a statement from the Tour read. "These thunderstorm complexes will sink to the south, with the greatest threat across the Metroplex expected to occur between 5-10 p.m. Breezy conditions are expected to arrive out ahead of these storms in the late afternoon, with gusts around 20 mph. Activity should diminish in coverage and intensity after 10 p.m. with dry conditions likely by 2 a.m. Saturday." Advertisement The worst was yet to come. "Strong to severe storms are possible this afternoon and evening with threats of large hail and thunderstorm wind gusts between 55-65 mph," the statement said in closing.

Rory McIlroy says he ‘didn't really care' about making US Open cut at Oakmont
Rory McIlroy admitted he was in two minds over whether or not he wanted to make the US Open cut, in the latest nod to the Northern Irishman's psychological struggles since winning the Masters in April. McIlroy birdied two of his last four holes on Friday evening to survive for the closing 36 holes at Oakmont. Until that point, he was heading for an early exit. McIlroy returned to the course to post 74 on Saturday, leaving him 10 over for the week, before addressing the media for the first time since Tuesday. McIlroy's body language suggested he would rather he elsewhere. Advertisement 'It's much easier being on the cut line when you don't really care if you're here for the weekend or not,' said McIlroy in only half-joking tone. 'I was sort of thinking, do I really want two more days here or not? So it makes it easier to play better when you're in that mindset.

You don't know how you're going to react to such a, I wouldn't say a life-altering occasion, but at least something that I've dreamed about for a long time. I have felt a little flat on the golf course afterwards.' McIlroy called his overall US Open performance 'pretty average' before being similarly blunt on his aspirations for day four. 'Hopefully a round in under four and a half hours and get out of here,' he said. Advertisement McIlroy's relationship with sections of the media has felt frosty since last month's US PGA Championship. There, news broke that his driver had failed a standard test for a non-conforming face. No other player was named in the initial report, despite the fact that eventual champion Scottie Scheffler encountered the same issue. McIlroy had avoided post-round press conferences for six major days in a row before Saturday. At Oakmont he referenced 'frustration' with the press. 'That was a part of it,' said McIlroy of whether driver-gate had prompted him to step back from media duties. 'At Augusta I skipped you guys on Thursday so it's not out of the ordinary. I've done it before, I'm just doing it a little more often. I feel like I've earned the right to do whatever I want to do.'
