The BMW Golf Championship resumed play at 5:30 pm after a 3.5 hour rain delay on Thursday afternoon.
The National Weather Service issued a severe weather alert for the Carmel area near Crooked Stick Golf Course at around 2:00 pm. The air horns for the BMW PGA Tournament sounded and fans were told to take shelter before the skies opened up and flooded some parts of the course.

Play will begin at 8.00am this morning with more bad weather in the forecast,the delay meant that just under half the 69-man field finished the round.
American Robert Castro is in with a -7 65 currently good for the lead. David Hearn has only played 3 holes, so you can see how spread out the field is, and the course is very wet, especially for the spectators.
Hideki Matsuyama, Paul Casey and Adam Scott are at -4 on the back nine. Casey had the 54-hole lead last week at the TPC Boston. Rory McIlroy is -3 under through 10 holes. Jordan Spieth is at -2. Rickie Fowler vying for a captain's pick for the Ryder Cup opened with a 75.
However the sun is shining this morning, the course is soft and the bad weather is not scheduled until around noon.
