After much of Thursday's stormy opening round was suspended, the USGA had to play catch up Friday at the 66th U.S. Women's Open. For the most part, they were successful. Until 6:09 p.m. local time, when the horn sounded again, halting play at The Broadmoor for a second straight day and leaving a field of 156 golfers either on the course or still waiting for their late tee time.
