Players upset after winds delay Open

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Torrential rains halted play Friday morning at the Old Course in the 144th British Open.

High winds stopped play Saturday morning.

As winds exceeding 40 mph made the course unplayable, play in the oldest championship in golf was suspended at 7:32 a.m. local time – 30 minutes after the restart of the second round that was suspended due to darkness with 40 players not finishing their rounds.

The green on the 11th green proved the most adventurous place on the course as players would replace their ball after marking it and the ball wouldn't remain still.
