Open Extended ReactionsLAS VEGAS -- Taylor Pendrith was spared wind so strong it caused a four-hour delay and battered the field Friday in the Shriners Hospital Open.
The Canadian had to play only six holes and stayed in the lead before the second round was halted by darkness.
Kitayama was part of the group at 8-under 134 that included Doug Ghim, J.J. Spaun and Davis Thompson, all of whom completed the second round.
1, his 10th hole of the second round, and five putts later walked off the green with a triple bogey.
The worst of it was forecast to be moving on, though strong wind was expected at least through half of Saturday.
