Now high winds force Open play suspension,
hopes of a resumption at 6pm 

Having started the completion of Round 2 at 7am, play was officially suspended at 7.32am due to high winds of up to 45mph.
 Forty-two players started the day still needing to complete their second round. However, only three were able to do so before officials suspended play. 
Players have now come off the course and are indoors waiting for  an update and weather forecast
Latest: Play scheduled to resume at 6pm. R and A obviously trying to get the second round completed so that a cut figure will reduce the field to a size capable of getting round twice on Sunday ... in the "old days," the Open started on a Wednesday and finished on a Friday with 36 holes ... so that the professionals could get back to to their club members in time for the Saturday medal.
How times have changed!
The last Open winner to play 36 holes on a Friday to win it ... probably Roberto de Vicenzo.
