The only two South Koreans in the 2015 British Open, An Byeong-hun and Gunn Yang, will most likely not make it past the second round.

Play was suspended on Friday as the players ran out of light, but both players were able to finish 18 holes in heavy wind and rain.

An, the only South Korean professional in the field, improved his game on Friday after putting together an even-par 72 to put his total at 2-over.

21-year-old amateur Gunn Yang shot a 5-over 77 and sits at 6-over for the tournament.

The projected cut is at even par, which means that both An and Yang most likely won’t be around during the weekend.

Tiger Woods was also on the wrong side of the cut line, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise following his disappointing first round 4-over 76.

The three-time British Open champion was one of the few players who had to cut his round early. He will finish the remainder of his second round tomorrow morning.

Woods had a slightly better start, but was at 1-over after 11 holes on Friday.

Korean American Kevin Na had a roller coaster of a round after a strong performance on Thursday. He was able to make five birdies, but offset his score with six bogeys and a double. His total puts him in tied for 40th at 2-under.

American golfer Dustin Johnson maintained his lead shooting shot 3-under through 13 holes as he tries to close out the tournament this weekend for his first career major win.
