John Deere Classic Round 2 Delayed for Weather

Looks like 2009 is officially the season of a rain-delayed golf tournament.  First we had the excruciatingly long U.S. Open, and now, once again, rain is officially ruining our parade.  That's right, the John Deere Classic is at a standstill and according to the most recent reports, play should be resuming sometime around 4:00 pm local time.

Stiles & Janzen Tied for Lead

So when play DOES resume, what does the landscape of the leaderboard look like?  Glad you asked.  Right now sitting proudly atop the leaderboard we see a two-way tie for the lead at -7 between Darron Stiles and Lee Janzen and three other golfers nipping at their heels at -6.  How will the rain affect play, affect scores and affect the leaderboard?  We can't tell yet, but things could get extremely interesting over the next few hours.  Whether or not they'll fully finish Round 2 remains to be seen, but taking a quick glance at the weather video on PGATour.com, it's looking like they might be facing some serious Mother Nature issues.

Monday Finish Possible

When PGA Tournament Arvin Ginn was asked whether or not this tournament could be cut short due to the impending British Open, that quite obviously would take priority, Ginn visibly takes offense to it and reminds the interviewer that they are focused on the John Deere Classic, and nothing else.  He also mentioned that a Monday finish  might once again be required.  Yikes.

Perry & Glover Off The Pace

As long as there is golf, we'll be watching!  We're Still waiting on Kenny Perry and Lucas Glover to both make their moves, considering they are riding the wave of recent victories.  Currently Perry is at -3, while Glover is sitting one stroke behind that at -2.

Will They Finish?

If they go out again, it'll be worth watching.  Hold tight, we'll see what happens!
