ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Steve Williams was on the Old Course early Friday to check the pin positions for the second round. On his way back in, the caddie for Adam Scott wasn't sure there would even be a second round.
"I watched the second hole flood in seven minutes," Williams said.
The rain was so heavy that the first and 18th fairways were filled with large puddles. Sand bags were placed along streets along St. Andrews to avoid flooding.
Imagine the plight of Jaco Van Zyl, Mark Calcavecchia and Marcel Siem. They were first off Friday morning and had to play the first hole before the R&A suspended play for more than three hours.
