Most of the golfers who went low Monday have afternoon tee times here on Tuesday. However, that lines up with the greatest threat of rain this week. According to local forecasts, that threat won't materialize until later this afternoon. I've seen as early as 3 p.m. that it could move in and as late as 6 or 7. So stay tuned to the sky.

6:51

Good morning and welcome to Day 2 of the Wisconsin State Open Championship from Tuckaway CC in Franklin. It's a beautiful start to the day with a temperature of 66 and a sunny sky.

*** Tuesday, August 18 ***
