- 9:05 a.m. ET is the new restart time for the U.S. Open first round after play was halted by fog at 7:05 a.m. at Shinnecock Hills.
- Players are being sent back to the exact spots where they were stopped, while all tee times shift back two hours.
- That delay could stretch Thursday further because rain and possible storms are still forecast for the afternoon.
- Shinnecock's conditions may also toughen after the restart, with lifting fog giving way to stronger winds across the course.
