Harrington steady; Willett leads at weather-hit Open

Danny Willett had feared Armageddon ahead of Friday’s second round, but the vicar’s son from Sheffield mastered the conditions to lead the weather-affected Open Championship at St Andrews.

Torrential early rain meant the first group had not completed the opening hole before play was suspended due to waterlogged greens and fairways on the Old Course, leading to a delay of three hours and 14 minutes.
