Play Suspended Once More
Play was suspended for the second time today at 3:18 p.m. due to dangerous weather in the area. It's the third weather delay in two days at the 62nd U.S. Women's Open, although it has yet to rain.
Defending champion Annika Sorenstam was in the middle of the 9th fairway, her 18th hole of the second round, when the horn sounded. Sorenstam was coming off a birdie on the par-4 8th hole, her first since this morning when she completed her first round. Sorenstam, struggling with her ball-striking, shot a 6-over-par 42 over her first nine holes. She's at 5-over par for the tournament, and appears safe to make the weekend cut. The leader, Angela Park, is at 3 under. She was scheduled to tee off at 3:48 but that time will be pushed back yet again.
The leader in the clubhouse is In-Bee Park at even-par 142. One of six players with the last name of Park in the field, Park fired a 2-over-par 73 after an opening-round 69. Two other players, Japan's Shiho Oyama and Korea's Jee Young Lee, are also at even par through 16 holes.
