    The first round of the 2006 U.S. Women's Open Championship was supposed to have been played on the Thursday of the tournament. The weather prevented this from happening, and the round was postponed. What type of weather caused this postponement? U.S. Women's Open 2006 (mrsx04)

      Dense fog. The first round of the 2006 Women's U.S. Open was postponed due to very dense fog.

The fog was so dense that it was very difficult to see down the fairways. The author of this quiz (and her aunt) stood for five hours at the tenth tee box with a great view of where the players would have been teeing off before play was postponed. We did get to see some of the top players putt on the practice green, though!
