Due to inclement weather circling around Applebrook Golf Club (par 71, 6,744 yards) beginning at 2:20 p.m., play in the 117th Joseph H. Patterson Cup presented by Callaway Golf was suspended for the day.
Mid-afternoon thunder and lightning struck, sending the field seeking immediate shelter. Two groups still have yet to tee off in the first round.
Pine Valley Golf Club’s Jeff Osberg holds the clubhouse lead at 4-under 67, while Lu Lu Country Club’s Matthew Teesdale finished his first round at 3-under 68.
Play will resume tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. A rolling cut will be implemented. Second-round tee times will begin at 11:30 a.m.
The second oldest Championship in GAP, the Joseph H. Patterson Cup memorializes a man who fostered the game of golf in its infancy. Joseph Henry Patterson, a Philadelphia Cricket Club member, competed in the first out-of-town match played by a team of Philadelphians. Friends of Patterson donated the Cup, designed by J.E. Caldwell & Co., to GAP in 1900.
