Kuchar leads by one at suspended PGA

Golf Betting Lines

08/13/2010 - Kohler, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Matt Kuchar posted a three-under 69 on Friday to stay atop the leaderboard after his second round of the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.

Kuchar, the first-round leader, finished 36 holes at eight-under 136 and is one stroke ahead of fellow American Nick Watney, who shot a four-under 68 on Friday.

The second round was suspended due to darkness with half of the field still needing to finish the round. They will return Saturday morning, weather permitting.

Friday was the second day in a row that the round was delayed because of fog. The golfers waited two hours and 40 minutes to start play. The start of the tournament was pushed back more than three hours Thursday morning, then eventually suspended due to darkness with 78 players left on the course.

Rain began to fall at Whistling Straits Friday afternoon, but play wasn't stopped until darkness.

The forecast calls for overnight rain with it possibly carrying into Saturday morning. The plan is for the players to return at 8:00 a.m. (et).

Tiger Woods, a four-time PGA Champion, followed his worst start as a professional last week at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational with a one-under 71 on Thursday.

Woods' second round was a little different.

He made six pars in the second round before the horn blew, but Woods' swing was erratic at best. Woods sprayed his drives all over and missed a three-foot birdie putt at the sixth to magnify what was a tough start to his second round.

Rory McIlroy (68), former Masters champion Zach Johnson (70), Jason Dufner (66), Bryce Molder (67), Dustin Johnson (68), Simon Khan (70) and teenager Seung Yul Noh (71) share third place at five-under 139.

Phil Mickelson, the 2005 PGA Champion, shot a three-under 69 and is in at minus-two.
