BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The bad weather following the LPGA this spring arrived with the players Monday at Shoal Creek.
The U.S. Women’s Open faces a challenge with Subtropical Storm Alberto forecast to pass over the course late Monday night and early Tuesday morning.
“It’s a little unusual to have a named storm this early in the season and have it aimed right at the U.S. Women’s Open,” said Jake Swick, the Thor Guard chief of meteorology for the USGA.
The National Hurricane Center’s forecast cone has the storm going over Shoal Creek.
“The highest percentage chances are that we get between 1 to 3 inches of rain, starting around midnight tonight, and going as late as noon tomorrow,” Swick said.
