Brisk breezes and windy forecasts forced officials to halt play for the day before most golfers could begin their second round, prompting officials to scrap the 72-hole plan and try to finish 54 by Sunday night.

Playing the back nine first on a blustery day at the Paradise Island Ocean Golf Club, Henderson got her round off to a flying start with a birdie at the 11th.

While the golf course was playable Saturday continued blustery conditions made scoring hard and through 11 holes of her second round Smith is 2-over and down to a share of eighth. "It's not really bothering me".

The opening round had been suspended by darkness Thursday with 12 players on the course.

"I was just trying to keep up with those girls", she said about Feng and Yang. "I felt we had the better draw because I got to sleep in most mornings and not get up at 5 a.m. every day, but it's definitely draining a little bit".

A pack of five shared third on 141 including Spanish rookie Luna Sobron Galmes, Canada's Brooke Henderson, Taiwan's Hsu Wei-Ling and Americans Lexi Thompson and Brittany Lincicome.

After posting a bogey on the only hole that she was able to complete on Friday, the 20-year-old Henderson mixed four birdies with four bogies to end at an even par 73 for her second round. But Hsu, was done in by what is usually a symbol of good luck: The horseshoe.

"Probably not my time", Hsu said. "Got to play a lot of low shots and playing into the wind, so very happy for me". On Sunday, she hit 16 of 18 greens and had 27 putts.

Hsu bogeyed the par-3 17th when her putt horseshoed out and closed with a birdie on the par-5 18th.
