KOHLER, WISCONSIN // Thick fog delayed the start of the second day of the 92nd US PGA Championship at Whistling Straits today, putting the tournament further behind schedule.
More than three hours of golf was lost because of fog yesterday and 78 players were unable to complete their first rounds because of fading light in the evening.
It was hoped some time would be made up with an early start on Friday but the conditions prevented that.
Organisers were not able to say when play would start but the delay was likely to be lengthy.
"Once the fog has lifted and it is clear to play, the first starting time will be 30 minutes following that time," officials said.
When play does begin the first round will be concluded before the second round commences, raising the possibility that the second round will not be finished until tomorrow.
Among the players still on the course on last night were Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els.
Tiger Woods, whose world No 1 ranking is under threat following the worst PGA Tour performance of his career last week, was among the early starters on day one and showed signs of improvement with a one-under-par 71.
That left him three behind the clubhouse leaders, the American Bubba Watson and Italian Francesco Molinari, and three others still on the course.

Tightening the screw on rogue recruiters
The UAE overhauled the procedure to recruit housemaids and domestic workers with a law in 2017 to protect low-income labour from being exploited.
Only recruitment companies authorised by the government are permitted as part of Tadbeer, a network of labour ministry-regulated centres.
A contract must be drawn up for domestic workers, the wages and job offer clearly stating the nature of work.
The contract stating the wages, work entailed and accommodation must be sent to the employee in their home country before they depart for the UAE.
The contract will be signed by the employer and employee when the domestic worker arrives in the UAE.
Only recruitment agencies registered with the ministry can undertake recruitment and employment applications for domestic workers.
Penalties for illegal recruitment in the UAE include fines of up to Dh100,000 and imprisonment
But agents not authorised by the government sidestep the law by illegally getting women into the country on visit visas.
