Dustin Johnson with the lead in the clubhouse after shooting a 65. Looks like the wind is picking up, will be interesting to see what the impact is for the guys teeing off late.

Tiger still at +4, but he is now ahead of two golfers Pampling and Kevin Streelman. And tied with 65 year old Tom Watson.

Doubt we will have any more Tiger updates after tomorrow.

Luck of the draw

Looks like the afternoon guys who got the crappy weather today will be the ones who are projected to get the really crappy weather and big winds in the AM.

If that comes true look for the leaders today, DJ, Spieth and gang to.be the leaders on Friday night

Also look for Woods to add another MC to his majors since 2008 record and be heading home to spend the weekend with Amanda Dufner

Round 2 suspended due to heavy rains and high winds.

Maybe it will be playable later this afternoon, maybe a Monday final round

Good news actually

Rain has slowed and it looks like nearly the entire population of Scotland is out squeegeeing the Old Course

They've announced that play will resume at 5 AM EDT, about 4 hours late

Maybe

Weather is supposed to improve as far as precipitation is concerned

If so, round 2 will be completed early tomorrow, the cut made and the Open should be able to get back on track for Sunday play as scheduled

Matsuyama putting on a show at minus 7 for the day thru 10 holes.

Most of the field holding up well in the winds

Only bad part of the ESPN 12+ hours of coverage is having to watch those two drunken wicked retahded pats chowdahheads on Draft kings about 6 times an hour

Haven't been able to watch much of the first two rounds. Sucks when work gets in the way of my sports viewing.

Looks like Tiger found a way to still be in the Tournament on the weekend. For 7 more holes at least.

Started at 2 AM and suspended 40 minutes later due to steady 35 mile winds making it impossible to place a ball on exposed greens like 11 and 12.

Winds are supposed to die down around 5 to 6 AM ET

Set your alarms

Rather than set my alarm, I set my VCR. Woke up this AM, grabbed a cup of coffee and started watching the Open. Didn't even get through that first cup of coffee before play stopped again.

On to the Tour de France for my 2nd cup. Hopefully they start playing later this AM.

Looks like that is what will happen.

Probably the right thing to do at this point, but it sure sucks that the final round will be Monday.

Back in action after about 10 hours 30 minute delay. Winds still blowing pretty good, but not as bad as early this AM.
