Just saw this thread...and these comments are ridiculous. The heat will affect the players and it will affect the players out of shape (and older) the most. To think otherwise is ludicrous.
I too played junior and college golf playing in this heat. I remember once playing 18 one day and finding out it was 107 when I got in, and 127 heat index. That was 20 years ago. I'd die now getting my bag out of my car.

And perhaps that's a reason why you never made it any farther. JTrout probably said it better and more PC than I can. But I so love it when the ignorant disparage the remarks of those who have been there.
Did anybody quit today? Did anybody blame their poor play on the heat? Yeah, I'm real ludicrous.
UNDERSTAND THIS PEOPLE. THE HEAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY FACTOR AT ALL IN THE TOURNAMENT.

Like I said, comments like that are ridiculous. Fitter golfers will handle the heat better. You use Daly as an example, but Daly shot 73-73 the last two days. How do you know the heat hasn't worn him down? I'm far from ignorant and have played quite a bit of tournament golf. It is a factor. How much it is depends on the player.
