South Korea's Kim In-kyung took control of the thunderstorm-delayed US Women's Open by moving two strokes clear after 14 holes before darkness halted play in the second round Friday. Kim was at four-under par overall, having opened with a one-under 70 on the East Course at The Broadmoor. Tied for second place at The Broadmoor were Americans Wendy Ward, after 15 holes, first-round leader Stacy Lewis, after 16, and unheralded amateur Amy Anderson, who was yet to tee off in the second round. Lewis held a three-shot lead after seven holes of her second round. However, she began to self-destruct when play resumed after an hour-long storm delay late on Friday, recording a bogey at the 14th and a double bogey at the 15th. Ward had opened with a 73 but she produced bogey-free golf in the second round with four birdies in the first 15 holes before played was halted for the day. Only 33 players in the field managed to complete the 36 holes, including clubhouse leaders Angela Stanford (70) and fellow American Lizette Salas (73) who both finished at even-par 142.Paula Creamer, the defending champion, kept herself in the mix after opening with a 72 and was one under for the tournament after 16 holes. Storm-hit Scottish Open reduced to 54 holes The Scottish Open was reduced to a three-round event Saturday due to heavy rain and waterlogging at the Castle Stuart course. Further morning rain delayed the start of the unfinished second round. Over two inches of rain in the Inverness region flooded the course and caused landslips at the first and 12th holes and even if the second round does go ahead, spectators will not be allowed to watch at holes one, two, three, 10 and 12. If the second round is able to be completed Saturday, the third and final round will take place Sunday. Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are among the 78 players yet to finish their second rounds, both lying seven-under-par, four shots behind the early leaders, Britons Graeme McDowell, Scott Jamieson and Peter Whiteford.
