Overview
- After a stormy practice day Thursday, Friday's opening matches proceeded on schedule under mostly sunny skies near 80°F with light winds, according to National Weather Service forecasts.
- Saturday is expected to be partly sunny with highs around 78°F and gentle breezes, suggesting wind will not play a major role.
- Forecasts call for showers to develop Saturday night into early Sunday, with guidance citing up to a 60% chance of rain and the most likely window before 8 a.m.
- Officials are watching the overnight period because precipitation could soften Bethpage Black and potentially affect the start of Sunday's 12:02 p.m. singles session.
- Thursday's thunderstorms already prompted a venue change for the Junior Ryder Cup finale, which remained at Nassau Country Club instead of moving to Bethpage.
