At 2:16 p.m. Saturday play was suspended and the horns were followed by an Olympian display of electricity and torrential rains. The washout set up the longest day in American championship golf since Ken Venturi beat heatstroke in the '64 U.S. Open at Congressional in the game's last 36-hole final, except this one was almost as chilly as that one was hot. The last time a European won the PGA (Tommy Armour, 1930), America had just slipped into the Great Depression. Let's hope for the luck of the Irish this time. At least now Europe will think the PGA is a major again.
