TROON, Scotland — Winter paid a brief visit to the West Coast of Scotland on Saturday afternoon and stayed just long enough to cause various wipeouts and crashes along the shores of Troon, making a mess of the leaderboard and setting up a potentially fun final day at the British Open.
It was a day to head for cover and enjoy indoor activities, not try to navigate one’s way around a storied links that turned brutish in windy, rainy conditions that left a bunch of tired, soaked beaten golfers in the gloaming light at Royal Troon.
