Weather continues to dominate U.S. Women's Open

Southern Pines, NC (Sports Network) - The U.S. Women's Open has been plagued by weather problems over the first two days.
The first round was completed Friday morning after a 3 1/2 hour weather delay on Thursday. Once the second round commenced Friday, more bad weather blew through the area causing more problems.
Play was stopped twice during the round and the second delay eventually led to action being halted for the day. Lightning was the main culprit, but there was also plenty of rain at Pine Needles as well.
Second-round action is slated to resume at 7:30 a.m. (et) Saturday.
Teenager Angela Park remains atop the leaderboard thanks to her three-under 68 in the first round. She has yet to begin her second round.
All six players -- Ji-Yai Shin, Charlotte Mayorkas, Joo Mi Kim, Shi Hyun Ahn, Amy Hung and Julieta Granada -- tied for second place at minus-one haven't started their second rounds either.
Just eight groups -- 24 players -- have completed two full rounds. Among them was In-Bee Park.
Park started round two tied for second with Shiho Oyama. She struggled to a two-over 73 that left her at even-par 142, where she is tied for eighth with Oyama and Jee Young Lee, who both are through 16 holes of round two.
"I'm going to get a lot of rest because I played a lot of golf the last two days and it's going to be a lot tougher the next two days," said Park, mirroring the thoughts of many players.
Kraft Nabisco champion Morgan Pressel, Cristie Kerr, women's world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa, Brittany Lincicome and Jennie Lee are also at even-par, but haven't started to round two yet.
Defending champion Annika Sorenstam started the round tied for fourth, but went the wrong way. She was six-over through 17 holes and stands at plus-five and tied for 74th.
Sorenstam opened with a double-bogey on the 10th. She carded four more bogeys en route to shooting a six-over 42 on the back nine.
Around the turn, Sorenstam started to settle down. She dropped another stroke on two, but got that shot back with a birdie on the eighth. Sorenstam was playing the ninth when play was halted.
If Sorenstam pars the ninth for a six-over 77, she would tie her third-worst score at the U.S. Women's Open. She posted an 80 in her first Women's Open in 1992 and shot 79 at the 1998 Women's Open. She has shot 77 four other times at this event and has finished no better then tied for 23rd in those four championships.
Former Women's British Open champion Jeong Jang, Angela Stanford and Kris Tamulis each posted rounds of even-par 71 Friday and are tied for 16th at one- over-par 143.
Birdie Kim (15 holes) and Diana D'Alessio (14 holes) also stand at plus-one, and both are one-under during their second rounds. Five more players stand at one-over, but haven't started their second round.
Hye Jung Choi fired the round of the day with a three-under 68, moving her into a share of 39th at three-over-par 145.
Michelle Wie (+11) and Karrie Webb (+12) have yet to begin their second rounds.
