It was a very wet start to PGA Championship week as torrential rain bucketed it down on Monday and further rain followed at times throughout Tuesday.
The Quail Hollow weather has led to a soft course that is playing even longer than its official yardage, which should benefit the biggest hitters in the field. A by-product of the wetter conditions means that there was always a risk of mud balls coming into play, but the PGA of America was confident that the course was dry enough to avoid playing 'lift, clean and place.'
