But on Thursday at Torrey Pines, the infamous Southern California winds reached a point of no return — the tour had to stop the second round as gusts exceeded 35 miles per hour. Balls began to move on the greens, and tournament officials have no choice but to sound the horn whenever that happens.

Only a half hour after Dahmen talked, at 2:05 p.m. PT, rules officials blew horns to stop play on both courses, and with no indiciation of when the wind might calm down, the players marked their balls and were transported back to the clubhouse.

Round 2 was suspended for nearly 90 minutes on Thursday before darkness ultimately ended play at Torrey Pines.
