Weather Forecast – North Berwick, Scotland
While the morning wave on Thursday had relatively perfect scoring conditions for a coastal course with an average score of 0.39 strokes over par, once the wind increased around noon, the afternoon wave had no such good fortune. The average PM score was 3.60 strokes over par, one of the most significant differentials you will ever see. And as we look at the forecast for the second round, it appears that the wind will be one of the main storylines once again on Friday as winds are steady at 20-25 mph and gusting to 30 mph.
