It is common for there to be weather related impacts between morning and afternoon starting times. It happens at The Open Championship quite often. The weather in the English isles can change by the hour. BUT the R&A take that into account.
The error I feel the USGA made was in applying their mantra of ‘stern test of golf’ blindly on Saturday. The sunny day, high winds and low humidity that day dried the greens out. That made many pins impossible to get close to and worse, even if players hit the green, putts that unless they went in the hole rolled a minimum of 5+ feet by and in some cases off the green and downhill another 20 yards.
Having said all that. In the end, the skill of the players came through and I feel one of the best won.
