Saturday tee times pushed up to 8:30 a.m.

Scattered showers in weekend forecast.

BY ELI MILLERPublished: March, 2010

NEWPORT BEACH—Scattered showers are supposed to come in earnest beginning Saturday afternoon, a forecast which has prompted Champions Tour officials to move the second-round tee times at the Toshiba Classic up two hours.

Competitors will begin teeing off at 8:30 a.m. from the first and 10th tees at Newport Beach Country Club Saturday as opposed to the regularly scheduled start time of 10:30 a.m.

The rain is supposed to dissipate by Sunday afternoon, around the time the 54-hole event is scheduled to conclude assuming there are no delays.

Inclement weather has been an issue in the past at Toshiba — in 2000, heavy rains forced the tournament to be shortened to 36 holes.

Bob Tway, Mark Wiebe and Chein Soon Lu are tied for the lead after the first round.
