Due to ongoing rain in the area, the schedule for the opening day of the Fuzzy Zoeller Invitational saw teams able to compete just over one round of play at Champions Pointe Golf Club.
Originally schedule for 36 holes on Saturday, each team finished its first 18 while most got through a handful of holes in round two before lightning and rain forced play to be stopped for the day. On Sunday, the teams will finish their second rounds before playing the scheduled third round to complete the tournament.
