Tiffany Chan faces hectic US Women’s Open weekend as storms play havoc with Hong Kong star’s second round
The 24-year-old faces battle to make the cut after completing just four holes of second round at her first major as lightning delay hits Shoal Creek schedule
Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching was left facing a hectic US Women’s Open weekend after stormy conditions played havoc with the schedule at Shoal Creek.
A lightning delay caused by subtropical storm Alberto stopped more than half of the field from finishing their second round in Alabama, including Hong Kong No 1 Chan, who is playing her first major.
Play was halted for nearly four hours and resumed at 6pm local time. But barely an hour later, play was suspended for the day amid fading light and the more gathering storm clouds.
“We have a super early start tomorrow, it’s been a long day,” Chan’s agent, Jeremy Yew, said.
Chan, who is five over par for the tournament, will resume her second round at three over par through four holes at 6.45am Central time (7.45pm Hong Kong time) on Saturday.
Following a first-round 74 in similarly tricky conditions, the 24-year-old is in danger of missing the cut, which is projected to be three over par.
