"This course was like a pit bull with no teeth. Absolutely soft conditions. No wind to speak of. However, there is an ominous forecast for tomorrow. It is supposed to storm in the afternoon. The wind is going to blow all day. It’s going to be like a pit bull with a bad tooth tomorrow." - Brandel Chamblee, correctly calling the big change in the weather from Thursday to Friday at the Ocean Course at the 94th PGA Championship.
