Golf: Jones, Day lead as weather delays PGA Championship
Matt Jones and Jason Day grabbed lead in the second round of the PGA Championship.
KOHLER (AFP) - Australians Matt Jones and Jason Day were the leaders on the course when weather halted play for the day on Friday in the second round of the PGA Championship.
On a day when a wealth of birdies at Whistling Straits saw five players hold at least a share of the lead at some point, Day was nine-under par through 14 holes and Jones nine-under with six to play when the threat of lightning in the area halted play at 5:28 p.m. (21:28 GMT).
Less than half an hour storms swept in and play was suspended for the night. The round was to resume on Saturday at 7 a.m. (12:00 GMT).
England s Justin Rose was eight under through 17 holes -- one stroke better than clubhouse leader David Lingmerth of Sweden, who carded a second-round 70 for a seven-under total of 137.
Americans Harris English and Tony Finau were at seven-under on the course, while in the clubhouse Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth headed a group on six-under after a 67 for 138. He was joined by Scott Piercy (70) and Brendan Steele (69).
American Russell Henley, who had moved as low as eight-under, was at six-under with one to play with compatriot J.B. Holmes six-under through 14.
