Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images The first round of the 126th U.S. Open was paused for two hours on Thursday morning due to fog.
Play at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, N.Y., was suspended at 7:05 a.m. ET, approximately 30 minutes after the first group teed off.
When the horn sounded, only 14 players had completed a hole.
Golfers initially were told to hold in place for 15 minutes, but soon were summoned to the clubhouse given the visibility issues.
Play resumed a little after 9 a.m. ET.
A 60% chance of precipitation and wind gusts approaching 36 mph are in Thursday's forecast.
