Weather halts US Open early play
Print Edition
LITTLE known Andrew Landry was atop the leaderboard yesterday when lightning in the area halted play with golf’s top names struggling to gain traction at the US Open.
Landry, ranked 624th in the world and boasting one win on the web.com developmental tour, made the most of the rain-softened course to grab three birdies in his first 11 holes at Oakmont, Pennsylvania.
He led a group four players on 2-under that included former world No. 1 Lee Westwood and fellow Englishman Matthew Fitzpatrick, New Zealand’s Danny Lee and American Kevin Streelman.
Defending champion Jordan Spieth, the world No. 2 trying to become the first player since Curtis Strange in 1988-89 to win back-to-back US Opens, was in a group at 1-under after four holes.
World No. 3 Rory McIlroy was 1-over through five. McIlroy missed the first three fairways, making back to back bogeys at the second and third after finding bunkers at both.
The horn sounded to halt play because of the danger posed by lightning after three hours and 19 minutes of play.
US Golf Association officials planned to shelter players in vans on the course, hoping to resume play without having to bring everyone back to the clubhouse. But with scattered thunderstorms in the forecast, the field faced a potentially frustrating afternoon on a course already reckoned among the hardest to host a US Open.
