Fog coming off the Blue Ridge Mountains caused a brief, 30-minute delay Thursday at the inaugural Biltmore Championship in Asheville, North Carolina.
The two first groupings were set to tee off at 7:20 a.m. EDT but were held in the clubhouse until close to 8.
Rookies Jackson Koivun and Ben James are two of the tournament headliners and betting favorites. Koivun is playing with U.S. Presidents Cup teammate Jacob Bridgeman and local legend Webb Simpson in one of the tournament’s four featured groupings.
Golf Channel’s Round 1 coverage from The Cliffs at Walnut Cove begins at 3 p.m. EDT. Here’s a look at the Thursday groupings and tee times (all times in EDT).
