As if life on the mini tours wasn’t difficult enough for aspiring professional golfers, imagine a tornado blowing through the first round of your fourth event of the new year.
The Cactus Tour, a mini tour branded as “The tour for women golf professionals in the Western United States,” was hosting an event at the Wigwam Golf Resort and Spa’s Blue Course in Litchfield Park, Arizona, on Monday when a wild storm blew through the area.
According to Hannah Gregg, who played collegiately at at Sonoma State and Nevada, the storm “blew the clubhouse door open” and moved patio furniture over to the putting green.
We came in for a rain delay, then a literal tornado rolled through and blew the clubhouse door open, flung debris inside and send players chairs + tables flying. Not to mention it ripped all of these trees in half. Outdoor patio furniture was on the putting green đ§đ„ș https://t.co/VFsJsGslvD

While those on the ground reported a tornado, a severe thunderstorm warning went into effect for the Phoenix area at 2 p.m. local time.
