Donna Andrews survived a double bogey, a shot she double hit and a 2 1/2-hour rain delay to shoot a four-under-par 68 Friday and remain in the lead after the second round of the LPGA Oldsmobile Classic at East Lansing, Mich.

Andrews, who is the tour’s leading money-winner this season, is at 12-under 132, leading Canadian Lisa Walters by two strokes.

The round will be completed early today, followed by the start of the third round.

Only 18 golfers finished Friday’s round before the rain and casual water at the Westchester Country Club prompted suspension of play. Forty-eight players were on the course and 73 others, including first-round leader Kevin Sutherland and most of the rest of Thursday’s top finishers, hadn’t started their rounds.

Isao Aoki tied the course record with a 10-under 62 that gave him a two-stroke lead after the first round of the BellSouth Senior Classic at Nashville.

Defending champion Gil Morgan finished with a 64.

About 6,000 tickets to next week’s U.S. Open were stolen and San Francisco police say it probably was an inside job. A USGA staff member said someone gained access to the Olympic Club clubhouse through an unlocked, upstairs window from a low roof. . . . Three-time champion Hollis Stacy shot a 72 at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs and qualified for her 28th consecutive U.S. Women’s Open, July 2-5 at Blackwolf Run in Kohler, Wis.
