Turns out the whole tournament's staged, filmed in advance, with St. Andrews students as extras. As proof, I've got this video of Dustin Johnson finishing on the 72nd hole:

Looks like play will be delayed a few hours due to rain.

That means people who have late tee times today probably won't finish... like Sergio. :getin:

On the bright side, in the last 5 minutes of listening to David Leadbetter give an interview during the weather delay, I seem to have found my putting stroke for the first time in a decade. :woop:

Only shot I saw from Scotty was an eagle putt that went too far past. Didn't see the return putt...

Edit. I enjoy watching young Danny Willett play

Spieth and DJ just finished the 1st hole, where they paused to watch Sir Nick cross the bridge on the 18th.

Pretty cool.

No golf until 3pm local at the earliest.

I wonder if they'll play in threesomes for rounds 3 and 4 or whether they'll just concede a Monday finish.

4pm local restart to finish round 2. Round 3 tomorrow and round 4 on Monday.
