There were a few, very brief rain delays today - but this did nothing to relieve the cloudless skies and extreme heat that has characterized this tournament so far - and has taken its toll on a number of players. The relief from the sun that was provided by the few clouds was more than counteracted by the increased humidity from the showers. Is it still Winter?
