Ryan Fox, New Zealand’s sold entrant in the men’s golf, had a frustrating day.
Fox, 34, began the day in 31st position, one under par, after shooting a 70 in his first round. With some low scoring going on around him, he needed to make some birdies to get among the leaders.
Instead he trod water, making a bogey on the par-four ninth and a birdie on the par-four 11th, but otherwise recording a string of pars.
On a weather-interrupted day, Fox played 15 holes before play was halted. He remained one-under for the tournament and had slipped to 39th equal position.
American Xander Schauffele held the lead, having completed a second round of 63 to be 11 under par after 36 holes.
Pushing Schauffele is Mexican Carlis Ortiz, who is one behind.
Irishman Rory McIlroy made a move, shooting a 66 to be seven under par and within striking distance.
