Dustin Johnson continued his top run as he maintained his one-shot lead at the 144th Open Championship before the play was suspended due to rain on the second day at St. Andrews.

World number four Johnson is 10-under after 13 holes, while England's clubhouse leader Danny Willett carded a three-under 69 for nine under overall, the BBC reported.

The action was halted just a few minutes into the second round when the Old Course was weather-beaten by torrential rain, causing a lengthy delay of more than three hours as the ground-staff battled hard to get the course playable.

Grand Slam-chasing Jordan Spieth is tied for 15th on five under after 13, while former number one Tiger Woods is five over after 11 and is set to miss only his second cut in 19 Open appearances overall.
