Fujita leads suspended U.S. Senior Open by 3

Omaha, Nebraska – First-round leader Joe Fujita maintained his advantage in the suspended U.S. Senior Open, resuming play with a three-stroke lead over the field. Fujita, 50, shot a bogey-free 66 in Thursday’s opening round, setting a scorching pace at Omaha Country Club. Play was halted due to darkness on Friday, leaving Fujita in a commanding position heading into the weekend.

The field completed the second round on Saturday morning, and Fujita held on to his lead despite shooting a 70. Defending champion Padraig Harrington moved into contention, but Fujita’s consistent play proved too much to overcome.

The final round will take place on Saturday, and Fujita will be aiming to capture his first senior major title.
