Ludvig Aberg and Lanto Griffin shared the lead as wind disrupted the second round of the Farmers Insurance Open, while Shane Lowry - Ireland's sole representative in California - missed the cut.
The wind, which topped 55 km/h on the coastal courses at Torrey Pines and saw stationary balls moving, forced an 86-minute delay.
Aberg and Griffin, both playing on the South Course, set the clubhouse target on six under as the weather delay forced an early end to play as darkness fell.
Joint overnight leader Aberg carded a three-over-par 75, the Swedish Ryder Cup star carding three bogeys in five holes on the front nine and adding a double on the 14th.
American Griffin managed three birdies on his back nine as he managed a level par 72, despite describing some shots as "brutal" in the conditions.
His compatriot Danny Walker, who shared the first-round lead with Aberg, mixed seven bogeys with five birdies, two of them in the last three holes on the North Course as a 74 left him one off the pace.
Chris Gotterup is among those a further stroke behind, his 69 containing a single dropped shot and equalling the day's best round.
Amateur Luke Clanton shot up the leaderboard with five birdies on his front nine, the Florida State junior dropping back into the group on three under before his round was cut short on the 17th.
Lowry followed up his opening 72 with a 75 to finish two shots outside the cut line, with defending champion Matthieu Pavon also missing out on the weekend. 2023 winner Max Homa withdrew due to illness during the wind delay on nine over.
