The US Open was suspended just 30 minutes into the first round on Thursday after heavy fog descended on the course in New York.
In a far cry from the usual weather experienced in the Hamptons, play was halted at just 7:05am local time, with just 18 players having started their tournament.
The delay could cause a logistical nightmare for organizers, with 156 players needing to play a full round for the tournament to stay on schedule.
In a series of posts on X, the US Open account initially reported that players had been told to ‘hold in place’ while they assessed the weather, but at 7:25am the golfers were brought back to the clubhouse.
At 8am, the tournament was pushed even further back, with the likes of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler awaiting further news on when the third major championship of the year would continue.
