Alexis Thompson missed the cut but made history - June 29, 2007

SOUTHERN PINES, N.C. -- Alexis Thompson made it to the weekend at the U.S. Women's Open, but not exactly the way she wanted.

Thompson -- at 12 the youngest player in history to qualify for the Open -- had a round cut short because of severe weather for the second consecutive day Friday at 12-over 134 through 31 holes.

Once second-round play resumes Saturday, the soon-to-be seventh-grader probably will conclude her history-making summer vacation to Pine Needles by missing the cut.

"Knowing that I'm not making the cut, like you're going to be here Saturday and you made the cut, but it's (still) pretty cool, being here another day," Thompson said.

When play was suspended amid the rumble of thunder, only 25 out of 156 players had finished the second round. It was to resume at 7:30 a.m. EDT Saturday, although USGA official Mike Davis made no guarantees.

Not much changed on the leaderboard from Thursday when there was a 3 1/2-hour delay -- an 18-year-old named Park was the clubhouse leader.

It was Angela Park after the first round, although she didn't hit a shot on Friday. Her good friend, In-Bee Park, bogeyed two of the last four holes for a 73 that put her at even-par 142.

Michelle Wie, who opened with an 82, didn't get past the practice range Friday.
