The Americans maintained control of the lead in the race for the Presidents Cup on Friday. The weather-delayed second day at Muirfield Golf Village in Dublin, Ohio rendered a few dominant performances. Play had to be suspended due to darkness after rained called a halt to the action earlier in the day.

The players did return to the course at 5:45 p.m. ET, but they ran out of daylight and will have to finish up on Saturday. Behind a stellar effort from Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, the Americans did enough to break even on the day. Each side came away with one point after two matches completed, and the Americans lead 4.5 to 3.5.

Here's a look at the standings at the time play halted, per PresidentsCup.com.
