The R&A have announced there will be no play for at least two hours.
What a downer. But the conditions were farcical, Titleists being blown around greens in the pinball style. It’s been a miserable morning for Jason Day and Dustin Johnson, who have both dropped shots in the high winds; an irritating one for Jordan Spieth, who is channelling Sam Snead right now in his disdain for the set-up here; and a very good morning for Danny Willett, who may yet be tucked up in his bed. We’ll be back here at 10am, when there’s hope of more golf.

A Morning of MacGolf @ St. Andrews
Thou canst not play on Macduff *
conditions now are far too rough--
for there's a witches' brew **
out there plaguing you.
It's made of wind, toil and trouble
which could cause your scores to spoil and double
since there is no covering bubble
here at St. Andrew.
And, even after your golf ball flyeth
it may not lie down and dieth
but instead, canst move a lot
from its damned spot ***
and you , like Lady MacBeth,
might go nuts
over your puts.
So golf warriors best lay your bags on the green,
since here at seven a.m. it's too windy a scene.
But please come back again--
We'll try again at ten.
