St Andrews (United Kingdom) (AFP) - The weather-hit British Open was in limbo on Saturday as high winds swept the Old Course at St Andrews and prevented any further play until mid-afternoon at the earliest.

The remnants of second-round action had got underway early in the morning, but officials soon called another halt to proceedings as the wind picked up.
