I'm guessing nobody. :)  Too bad.  I was actually contemplating flying from Atlanta to Newark in the morning; but, I would be arriving about an hour before play resumes (without a ticket).  It's probably better that I go to work anyway.

A few hundred volunteers who shouldn't have to be there, among others.

Is there any reason that this tournament should not have been completed today?  Is there one person for whom this is more convenient?  NBC was lucky to get away with it at Bethpage.  This sort of arrangement ruined the end of the President's Cup two years ago.  Now we have a major needlessly being postponed until Monday.  Scheduling a finish at 7 PM is absurd, particularly a tournament with a guaranteed three hole playoff if one is needed.

are you serious?

I have not seen such severe thunderstorms in many, many years.

Many waves, continuing till 9 pm.

The storms had been forecasted.  Last year Augusta moved up their final round when bad weather was in the forecast, no reason the PGA couldn't have done the same.  Even without the bad weather, why schedule a tournament to end at 7-7:15 PM when there is the possibility of a three-hole playoff?  Regular events end at 6 and they only go to sudden death.

Not meaning to imply that they should have played through the storms, but that the final group should have been off by 2PM, and moved up further if possible once the storms were forecast.  Mickelson had already commented on the lack of light at the end of Saturday's round.
