PGA decides not to re-pair for final round

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – At this point, there are no easy answers.

Mother Nature has put the PGA of America into a bind, leaving tournament officials to battle the rising tides at Baltusrol Golf Club without so much as a life preserver.

The 98th PGA Championship, already wedged into an unusual spot in the schedule, has been plagued by rain that seems poised to push the tournament back into its original August time slot.

So yes, the organization running the event is officially in scramble mode. But that doesn’t excuse the unorthodox decision not to re-pair the field before the final round.
