AKRON, Ohio – Due to a weather forecast that calls for thunderstorms throughout Sunday, tournament officials have moved up tee times for the final round of the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
Competitors will now start in threesomes on both the first and 10th tees beginning at 8 a.m. ET.
"There is a likelihood of suspensions throughout the day, but we feel that we must make use of any window of playable weather that arrives," said a statement from the International Federation of PGA Tour Rules Committee.
