Padraig Harrington remains joint top at the end of his second round at US Senior Open
Padraig Harrington remained top of the leaderboard at the end of his second round at the 45th US Senior Open, but he wasn't alone at the summit. The Irish golfer opened his second round on Friday with three birdies on his first four holes and he would go on to post a score of 3-under, 67. But it wasn't enough to take full control of the competition as Stewart Cink shot a score of 4-under (66) to end the second day at 6-under overall and secure a share of first place at Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs. This was Harrington's second score of 67 in the tournament, having already shot that figure in his opening round on Thursday. Harrington, who is the 2022 U.S. Senior Open champion, and Cink, who is competing in this event for the first time, were in the same threesome the first two days alongside Justin Leonard. The 53-year-old even benefitted from getting a good read on the green from Cink on the par-5 ninth hole, where he would go on to drain a long putt. The Dublin native would also benefit from getting an early time out on the course as shortly after he concluded his round, the U.S. Golf Association suspended play due to dangerous weather in the area and fans were told to exit the grandstands and take shelter immediately. "The one on 9, I got a lovely read off Stewart," said Harrington. "I don't think I would have given it as much break, so that was nice. We're seeing that a lot lately, aren't we, people getting reads? That was advantageous. They're the breaks you get when things are going well. "This is the advantage of having a late-early tee time. It gives you an extra, I probably got close to 24 hours before my next round, so it's time to rest and get your head in place because it's going to be a long weekend from now for sure. "When you're at the top of the leaderboard all week, it's always a stressful week."

Padraig Harrington, Stewart Cink beat weather delay, tie for lead at 2025 U.S. Senior Open
The 45th U.S. Senior Open features a couple of familiar names tied atop the leaderboard as well as some familiar afternoon summer weather at the Broadmoor. Padraig Harrington, who opened his second round Friday with three birdies on his first four holes, went on to post a 3-under 67. Meanwhile, Stewart Cink shot 4-under 66. Those two are tied for the lead at 6 under overall in Colorado Springs, Colorado. For Harrington, it's his second straight 67. He was the 18-hole leader alongside Mark Hensby, but Hensby isn't scheduled to tee off for his second round till 1:43 p.m. local time (4:34 p.m. ET) on Friday. Harrington is the 2022 U.S. Senior Open champ. Cink is competing in this event for the first time. They were in the same threesome the first two days alongside Justin Leonard. Harrington even got a read from Cink on the par-5 ninth hole, where Harrington drained a long putt. "The one on 9, I got a lovely read off Stewart. I don't think I would have given it as much break, so that was nice," he said. "We're seeing that a lot lately, aren't we, people getting reads? That was advantageous. They're the breaks you get when things are going well." Soon after they finished, the U.S. Golf Association suspended play due to dangerous weather in the area. Fans were told to exit the grandstands and take shelter immediately. The horns just sounded, halting play in the second round of the U.S. Senior Open at The guess on how long the delay will last. Being in the early wave and beating the weather delay is a bonus, according to Harrington. "This is the advantage of having a late-early tee time. It gives you an extra, I probably got close to 24 hours before my next round, so it's time to rest and get your head in place because it's going to be a long weekend from now for sure," he said. "When you're at the top of the leaderboard all week, it's always a stressful week." The Broadmoor is hosting the Senior Open for a second time. Earlier in the week, the USGA awarded the venue two future Opens. A year ago, the Senior Open went to a Monday finish due to dangerous weather during the final round in Newport Country Club in Newport, Rhode Island. Defending tournament champion Richard Bland is not in the field, as his commitment to LIV Golf has him in Dallas this week.
