Morning Fog Postpones U.S. Open Start, Manav Shah's Tee Time Rescheduled

Manav Shah, a golfer from Bakersfield, is set to compete in the prestigious U.S. Open championship at Shinnecock Hills in Southampton, New York. Originally slated to tee off at 11:42 a.m. Pacific time on Thursday, Shah's first round has been delayed by two hours due to morning fog.

This weather setback means Shah will now begin his round at 1:42 p.m. Pacific time, or 4:42 p.m. Eastern. He is positioned to play in the final group of the day, starting at the No. 10 tee.

Looking ahead, Shah's second-round tee time is planned for 8:47 a.m. Pacific on Friday. However, this schedule could change if the first round is not completed by the end of Thursday. In such a scenario, players, including Shah, would return early Friday morning to finish their initial round before commencing second-round play.

This year's U.S. Open is one of the most significant events in the golfing calendar, drawing attention from players and fans worldwide.
