Second round of British Open suspended due to high winds

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland - The wind, as ever, ruled the day in Scotland.

Just 32 minutes after restarting Round 2 -- which had already been delayed three hours on Friday because of rain -- officials at the British Open halted play, citing unplayable conditions. They were right: players saw balls roll across greens untouched and shots fly in unpredictable patterns. Leader Dustin Johnson dropped a stroke almost immediately to fall back into a tie with Danny Willett, who'd already completed his round.
