HOYLAKE, England (AP) ? Play was called off for the day at the Women's British Open on Friday because of strong wind that disrupted the second round so badly that organizers declared early scores "null and void."
With wind gusting up to 60 mph, players struggled to keep the ball on the tees and greens before the round was suspended after an hour of play in the morning.
England's Felicity Johnson started with a quintuple bogey 9. American Cristie Kerr had her ball blown off the 12th tee three times. Co-leader So Yeon Ru of South Korea bogeyed her only hole, the 10th, before play was suspended.
Organizers had hoped to restart in mid-afternoon but decided to cancel when conditions didn't improve. The second round is scheduled to start early Saturday, leaving the possibility of a Monday finish to the year's final major.
"It would have been unfair to those competitors not to declare play null and void and cancel all scores for the round in question," Ladies Golf Union tournament director Susan Simpson said in a statement.
