Intro:

Dustin Johnson holds a one shot lead on Saturday (18th July) at the end of the second round of the weather affected Open at St Andrews in Scotland

Script:

Summer in most of the world usually means its time to put away the umbrella, put on the t-shirt and head out to enjoy the weather.
Not in Scotland.

High winds and rain meant play was badly affected on Friday, and it continued on Saturday - after a brief and failed attempt in the morning, those still trying to finish their second round couldn't play until late afternoon and play was held up 11 hours.

Still Daniel Brooks hardly minded - he aced the 11th, a highlight in an otherwise forgettable tournament for the Englishman.

Tiger Woods will want to forget this trip to St Andrews.

He missed the cut for the second Major in a row - ending on plus seven, his comeback to the top of the game seems a long way off.

Sergio Garcia showed him how it is done.

The Spaniard is often the most entertaining player out on course and proved to be once again at St Andrews.

He birdied the last two holes as the world number 10 signed for a 69, and went back to the clubhouse five-under.

As was Jordan Spieth.

He carded a 72, a birdie at the last rescuing an otherwise unremarkable day for the remarkable young man.

Hideki Matsuyama couldn't quite match his earlier exploits when play resumed, but enough solid golf from the Japanese player saw him register a brilliant 66.

He is six-under.

One ahead of Charl Shwartzel - the South African no stranger to windy conditions, and is quietly building a challenge.

Another South African - former Open champion Louis Oosthuizen - is seven-under. He birdied the 15th, and then played par golf back to the clubhouse.

Jason Day joined him at that score - the New Zealander birding the last for a round of 71.

While Scotsman Paul Lawrie - who is no stranger to these conditions - hit a 70 to close just one shot behind second placed Danny Willet, and two behind leader Dustin Johnson.

Johnson was another to birdie the last for a 60, 10-under overall.

The American will have to wait until Monday as he tries to lift the trophy - It is the second time in the event's 155-year history that play will run to Monday.
