TV tower goes down during storm at the Memorial Tournament

An intense storm rolled through the Columbus area and led to third-round play being suspended at the Memorial Tournament on Saturday at Muirfield Village Golf Club (Dublin, OH).

Roughly 30 minutes after play at the PGA Tour event was suspended, the storm caused a TV tower to go down near the 10th green.

Thankfully, nobody was injured.

Joe Nugent of Columbus’ NBC4 posted to X that the suspension in play gave “everyone time to seek shelter.”
