Play was stopped at 12:42 p.m. due to a large monsoon. Heavy rains and lightning forced players and spectators off the course. Play resumed at 1:45 p.m.

"Both golf courses are playing difficult," said Tom Beach, past president of the Arizona Golf Association and current president of the Pacific Coast Golf Association. "The players are having a tough time taking it deep, which is kind of what we were trying to achieve. The hole locations are difficult yet fair and everyone is really enjoying the golf courses."

Tom Morgan, executive director of the Southern California Golf Association, agreed. "It's a fabulous site," said Morgan. "I can't imagine us having a site with two golf courses the caliber of these. The hospitality of the club and the members is perfect for an event like this.

"It'll be a different situation because of only one course, but hopefully it will be every bit as good. I guarantee we won't have any lightning, so we'll have to find something else for our excitement."
