Not The Best Day For Golf In St. Louis, BMW First Round Rained Out

As the FedEx Cup crawled to the third week of playoffs, one person must not be a huge fan of the new point system -- Mother Nature.

Rain has postponed the first round of play at Bellerive Country Club, host of the BMW Championship, with play resuming tomorrow morning with. Tournament director Slugger White, who always wins the award for best name ever, said they will catch up on Saturday with a 36-hole day.

The decision to play 36 holes on Saturday instead of Friday was made to give Bellerive "an extra 24 hours of drying time," White said.

"We've got a mess out there," White said of the course, who noted earlier that the rainy conditions "might be as bad as I've seen in a long, long time."

According to PGATour.com meteorologist Stewart Williams, Bellerive has already sustained 2.2 inches of rain and is expecting to get 1-3 more inches before the day is done.

I guess the only bright spot in this is that Brian Davis can always tell his grandchildren how after one day, he was tied for the lead in the BMW Championship.
