St Andrews (United Kingdom) (AFP) - Play got underway in the weather-hit second round of the British Open at St Andrews on Saturday but officials soon called another halt due to strong winds.

More than three hours of play was lost at the start of Friday's action when a storm deluged the Old Course, and 42 players were unable to complete their rounds by the time darkness fell.
