Justin Thomas, right, putts on the 17th green during a practice round at The Players Championship golf Tournament, Wednesday, March 9, 2022, in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. – Dustin Johnson took cover from a driving rain and could not have been happier. His tee shot to the notorious island green on the TPC Sawgrass was safely on land and the horn sounded to stop the round.

Koepka had it as bad as anyone. He took double bogey to close out the first round, leading to a 72. His ball was in the air in the second round when he started laughing. What else could he do? Another splash and a triple bogey on his way to an 81, matching his career-high on tour. The wind was strong all day, and full strength for that first group of the day. They went straight from the 18th to the 10th hole to start the second round. Just his luck, the wind regained strength on one of the most exposed parts of the Stadium Course.
