The weather around St. Andrews has been a nightmare for this year's British Open, as Saturday provided just enough time for players to finish their second rounds. Dustin Johnson remains in control of things at 10 under par, though there's not a lot of breathing room. 

Danny Willett, who has never won a PGA Tour event and has one top-20 finish in majors, is one shot behind Johnson. Paul Lawrie, who hasn't been a factor at the British Open since his win in 1999, and Marc Warren are other underdogs in the mix. 

Given the unusual way this year's British Open has unfolded—the third round will be played Sunday and the fourth round Monday because of the weather delays—it would be fitting if an off-the-radar player won. There's still a lot of golf to be played, so expect plenty of changes to the leaderboard. 



Johnson is in a familiar spot, as he was in the lead after the third round of the 2015 U.S. Open, but he is looking to close the deal this time and secure his first major championship. 

Speaking after Friday's portion of the second round was suspended due to darkness, Johnson told reporters that he felt good about where he was. 

"I'm in a good spot," Johnson said, per ESPN.com. "Definitely got very tricky this afternoon, all day. Even the front side, the wind was howling, and it was blowing straight left to right pretty much. It played very tough all day."

Considering the conditions, he should be thrilled about his position with two rounds left. Yet finishing strong has not been a strength for the 31-year-old. He had two chances to win the U.S. Open or push it to a playoff on the 18th hole, but his putting game let him down and he had to settle for second.

However, history is on Johnson's side as he looks to reach the top of golf's mountain, per Justin Ray of the Golf Channel:
