For the second day fog caused a lengthy suspension of play in the morning at the Cognizant Founders Cup causing it to be suspended due to darkness at at 6:18 p.m. with 63 players still to finish their rounds.

First-round leader Jin Young Ko of South Korea, aiming for a third victory this year, holds a three-shot lead with four holes to play.

“On the front nine, I had a lot of missed shot but I made a lot of good saves, so it’s fine,” said Ko. “I had a lot of good opportunity for birdies and left four holes for tomorrow. I will just take a rest tonight and then I will get better for tomorrow.”

American Lindsey Weaver was in the only afternoon group to finish their second round playing in 4 hours and 19 minutes. Weaver hurried to the ninth tee (her final hole) to just beat the horn and finished with a bogey but was otherwise glad to be done with a 4-under 67 and a tie for second place.

“Literally nothing is more important (than finishing). I was telling my caddie, I would hate to be playing No. 9 at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning,” said Weaver, who is not currently qualified for the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship. “I’m happy to be done, even though I made bogey on it. I’m just happy I don’t have to wake up at 5 a.m. tomorrow. I’m good. I’m happy with it.”

Weaver’s 36-hole score of 7-under 135 is the lowest of her LPGA Tour career, she had previously shot 136 two weeks ago at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, finishing eighth that week, tied for the best showing of her four-year LPGA Tour career.

Two other players are tied for second place at 7-under, former Rolex Rankings No. 1 So Yeon Ryu with four holes left to play, and Perrine Delacour, with seven holes remaining.
