If Oakmont Country Club wasn’t punishing enough, Mother Nature decided to join the party. Round 2 of the U.S. Open was suspended at 8:15 p.m. ET Friday due to lightning and dangerous weather conditions, with thirteen players still needing to finish their rounds.
Among those caught in the suspension was Thriston Lawrence, who was 1-over for the tournament through 17 holes when the horn blew. Only three players sit under par through two days, led by Sam Burns at 3-under after a spectacular 65. Play resumes Saturday at 7:30 a.m. ET, with Round 3 starting around 9 a.m. in groups of two off the first tee. The weather delay adds another layer of difficulty to what’s already proving to be one of the most challenging U.S. Opens in recent memory.
Round 2 will resume at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning following today’s suspension due to weather.⁰⁰Round 3 will be played in groups of two off of No. 1. Tee times will run from approximately 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
