Frost delays start of US PGA Championship

Frost has delayed the start of the 105th US PGA Championship, the year's second major, at Oak Hill in Rochester. Play had been scheduled to get under way at 7am local time (1200 BST), but predictions of an overnight frost proved accurate. Tournament organisers released a statement early on Thursday morning which read: "Due to frost, all Oak Hill Country Club practice facilities and the golf course are currently closed. "To protect playing surfaces, everyone on-site must stay off any grass and gates will not open until the frost clears. "Starting times for round one will begin approximately 1hr and 15 minutes after practice facilities open." The possibility of weather delays had been on the cards since the US PGA was moved from August to May in 2019, with Oak Hill having already been selected as this year's venue.
