Rain threatened all week but on the morning of the events there was nothing but blue skies. However the course was very wet underfoot and the rain during the previous week had meant that the rough had not been mowed resulting in many lost balls and difficult lies. The course management tried to compensate by declaring "preferred lies through the green" but even "tee-up through the green" would not have helped in a lot of cases. Many players though that the course should have been closed as even tough motorised carts were not allowed on the course even hand pulled buggies left , in some cases, deep ruts on the fairways.
