SAN DIEGO -- Ludvig Aberg and Lanto Griffin shared the lead Thursday at Torrey Pines in the Farmers Insurance Open after ferocious wind forced an 86-minute delay and prevented dozens of players from finishing the second round.
First-round leader Aberg fought to a 3-over 75, while Griffin had a 72 -- both on the South Course -- to sit even with Aberg at 6-under 138.
Danny Walker was 5 under, while Chris Gotterup had a 69 to match the day's best round and join Hayden Springer and Sungjae Im at 4 under.
The players battled strong, inconsistent wind gusts measured at more than 35 mph on the famed coastal course better known for foggy marine layers than disruptive weather.
Some gusts moved stationary balls and ripped hats off heads before marshals suspended play.
