Open resumes after rain delay

“I think it will be a true Scottish day that we all should enjoy the challenge ahead.”

The second day of the 144th Open Championship resumed at 10am after heavy rain forced play to be suspended just after its scheduled start time.

Persistent showers throughout the early hours got increasingly worse just as Jaco van Zyl, Mark Calcavecchia and Marcel Siem teed off at 6.32am and they had only reached the first green when they were called off at 6.46.
