The Punter's In-Play Blog: It's a snow-go in Arizona!

The clubhouse at Dove Mountain in the snow

It's a little hard to believe, but it's snowed so hard at Dove Mountain in the Arizona desert that play has been suspended for the day at the WGC Accenture Match Play.

22:30 - February 20, 2013
A smattering of snow fell before the final of the WGC Accenture Match Play two years ago and I assumed then that it was a freak occurrence but it seems not. So bad has the snowfall been today that play has stopped for the day, with ten matches yet to even start.

Obviously, with so little play completed I haven't too much to report yet but it looks as though I've lost the first of my four picks. Sergio Garcia has a 12-footer for birdie on the 15th hole which, should he make, would result in a 3 and 2 win for the Spaniard over my man Thongchai Jaidee.

I haven't added to my original picks yet and I haven't had any bets on the matches either. I did back Shane Lowry to beat Rory McIlroy when the weather looked bad but given they're coming back tomorrow and that the weather could be completely different, I've now layed that back.

So, very little to report but I have found a lovely little angle-in for trading in-running...

The leaderboard on the PGA Tour website was so inept earlier that it didn't even show how many holes had been completed in each match - a malady now remedied, but why waste time on that leaderboard when the worldglfchampionship.com mobile app has Play by Play!

I found it more by luck than judgement but if you can, check it out. For example, it shows that Graeme McDowell looks on the verge of losing the first hole to Padraig Harrington. G-Mac has 28 feet for par - Pod has just four.

It's going to be a long day tomorrow and quite how they'll progress I don't know. I assume they'll just keep going for as long as possible but that will mean by the end of the day, some players will be through to round three and some will have barely started round two.
