Open slated for Monday finish after wind delay

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – The Open Championship will have its first Monday finish in 27 years.

The R&A announced Saturday a change in schedule at St. Andrews: The second round, delayed by six hours (and counting) because of high winds, will resume sometime after 4 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET) Saturday afternoon, then players will play the third round on Sunday and the final round on Monday.

The Open hasn’t had a Monday finish since 1988, when Seve Ballesteros won at Royal Lytham.
