Merion Golf Club is a national historic landmark, and it's also the host of the U.S. Open Championship for the fifth time since 1934. Located in Haverford Township, Penn., Merion will also be the subject of poor conditions should weather strike the 2013 major championship starting on June 13.

Weather has plagued the PGA Tour several times so far this year, including last week at the Memorial Tournament, where play was suspended on Day 2 after weather and darkness were the calling cards of the second round in Ohio. 



As always with an outdoor sport, weather will be a factor in both the conditions that the golfers have to deal with and how the tournament schedule plays out. 



Since this is the first time since 1981 that the PGA Tour has chosen Merion to host the U.S. Open, there's no doubt that Tour and tournament officials want to be able to offer the field the best experience possible at the second major tournament of the year.

Of course, there's nothing anyone can do about the weather.
