Predicted bad weather moves up Sunday's Mercedes-Benz golf tee times

Advertiser Staff

Tomorrow's final round of the Mercedes-Benz Championship at Kapalua's Plantation Golf Course will start three hours earlier than planned due to a weather forecast that calls for heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms hitting Maui in the late morning.

The 33 players will be sent out in threesomes. Six groups will start on the 10th tee and the top five groups off the first tee, with the leaders going out at approximately 9 a.m., according to PGA Tour officials.

TV coverage had yet to be announced by the Golf Channel.
