Harrington bogeys as weather makes its mark at the Open

“The forecast is for very strong winds so it is a very tough course today and tomorrow (Friday and Saturday).

Torrential early rain left its mark on the Old Course at St Andrews as play was suspended for more than three hours and continued to have an effect when play restarted.

Many greens and fairways, particularly the first and 18th, were flooded, which meant the handful of golfers on the course at 6.46am were brought in with none having been able to complete even one hole in the second round of the 144th Open Championship.
