The worst has happened – third-round play at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans was abruptly halted at 2:15 p.m. due to lightning in the area, temporarily pausing the competition holding a $9.2 million purse. Currently, Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin are leading the tournament with a combined score of -22. The sudden interruption has left players and spectators alike anxiously waiting for the storm to pass, wondering when they can get back to the action on the course to see if Novak and Griffin can hold on to their top spot and claim the prize money.
Netizens are surely mad at the weather update and are not shy in expressing their disappointment. “You guys are such a f**king embarrassment lol”, said one fan while the other wrote, “due to raindrops,” suggesting that the Tour took this action for nothing.
