ARDMORE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Luke Donald, who surged into the U.S. Open lead just as first-round play was suspended on Thursday, slipped out of it after completing the difficult finishing holes at Merion Golf Club on Friday.

Bogeys at the par-four 16th and the par-four last gave the Englishman a round of two-under-par 68, one stroke behind first-round clubhouse leader Phil Mickelson.
