The second round of the US PGA Championship was spared a third fog delay and was able to resume on time at 7am at Whistling Straits.
And within minutes of the resumption Scot Martin Laird had fallen from four under par - four off the lead held by American Matt Kuchar - to six back with a double bogey six on the 500 yard par four 18th, his ninth.
Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington, Francesco Molinari, Luke Donald and Paul Casey were also among the 78 players yet to reach halfway.
Woods had parred his first six holes last night to remain one under and over the same stretch Harrington had grabbed four birdies, but also one bogey to move from three over to level par.
However, Woods instantly bogeyed the short seventh and was down in 51st spot at one over, while Harrington and Casey both dropped a shot at the eighth to stand one over and two over respectively.
Donald, like the other two needing a big week to guarantee a Ryder Cup place, started the back nine in trouble at three over, two outside the projected cut mark.
Woods remained level par with the back nine to come, while Laird had another six on the long second.
He was back to one under – and overtaken as leading Scot when Stephen Gallacher's birdie at the same hole made him two under and joint 22nd with, among others, Welshman Rhys Davies and England's Brian Davis and Simon Dyson.
Woods had his first birdie of the round at the 361 yard tenth to be one under again, but the first big move of the day was five groups ahead of him.
It came from Jim Furyk, who had a hat-trick of birdies from the 12th and went third on his own at six under, one behind Nick Watney and two behind Kuchar.
