Only At The Ryder Cup: Tom Lehman, Meterologist

Third Vice Captain and former Captain Tom Lehman has been doing recon work in Minneapolis as the de facto host cart driver.

The Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda says weather research was part of Lehman's duties. Vice Captain Tom's forecast:

“I looked up the Farmer’s Almanac, the history of that week,” Lehman said. “Historically, it will be cool in the mornings, decent in the afternoons. The wind was all over the map. The years I looked up — over 30 years, it was — it’s going to have some breeze. You may get lucky and have one of those beautiful 80-degree, 5-mile-per-hour weeks, but those are pretty rare. Blowing 10 to 15, 16, 17 [mph] was pretty normal, about 65 to 70 degrees was pretty normal. It will be cold in the morning, though.”

And here I was planning to debut my new collection of shoulderless golf shirts.
