OPINION :

Therefore even if the rain eases up as the day goes on, the wind and the saturated course are still factors officials will be hard pressed to overcome to put it mildly.

If all concerned parties, i.e. PGA Tour, TV, players, Sponsors don't call it off by tonight then the decision will go to Monday, The problem is the rain is projected to continue all night long leaving Pebble Beach completely soaked, even when the rain dries out to "a chance of a shower around 8am.

The Tour has said if they can't start by 10am on Monday the event will officially be 54 holes with Wyndham Clark the *winner
