OAKMONT, Pa. — After a rain delay Tuesday, the second round of stroke play finished at the 121st U.S. Amateur at Longue Vue Club on Wednesday morning. Libby native Ryggs Johnston, who shot an even par-70 in the first round, finished +1 with a 71 in the second round. His 141 total was good enough to advance to 64-man match play bracket Wednesday afternoon.
