\"ArnoldArnold Palmer’s famous umbrella came out once again, but this time the man beneath it was not smiling. No, sir, the first round of Arnold’s tournament was rained out.<\/p>\n

Storms dropped two inches of rain on the Bay Hill Invitational Wenesday and Thursday, and first-round play is scheduled to resume at 7:15am Friday morning. The tournament got in three hours of play Thursday, but not all had teed off, and nobody completed 18 holes.
\n
\nTiger Woods, playing in an all-star pairing with Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, got in six holes after duffing his opening drive – a three-wood he hit about three inches fat. It traveled 190 yards on the 441-yard opening hole. Woods still made par while Goosen and Els – who didn’t take six-inch divots – both made bogey. Said Woods later, “I’ve never done that before.”<\/p>\n

Sergio Garcia, in the lead at -3 after eight holes, said of the weather, “we’re getting used to it.” Joe Ogilvie, who last week lost in a playoff<\/a>, was also at -3 and played 13 holes, the most of anyone. Woods was one stroke back at -2.<\/p>\n

Ernie Els, +1 when the delay came, said that the delay couldn’t have come at a better time. Els has traveled extensively, winning in Dubai<\/a> and Qatar<\/a> the past two weeks, and is experiencing a little pain in his hip flexor as he starts the downswing. “It must have been all that walking in the sand, said Els. “It was very sore. If I can only feel 40 percent of the pain, I’ll be fine.”<\/p>\n

The first round began playing the ball down – no lift, clean, and place – and the entire first round must be completed as such. The cut will most likely come Saturday afternoon, and third-round play will probably be completed Sunday morning. If the weather forecast is accurate, that is. Said Woods, “It’s rained at every event I’ve played. As soon as I quit playing the tour, it won’t rain.”<\/p>\n

Here’s to hoping he sticks around just a little bit longer.<\/p>\n
