PITTSBURGH — JoAnne Carner, at 85 years old, shot a 9-over 80 on Friday in the second round of the U.S. Senior Women's Open at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh.

The Hall of Famer has shot her age or lower eight times in the tournament. She has eight U.S. Golf Association titles, the most by a female player, winning the U.S. Women's Open in 1971 and 1976, six U..S. Women's Amateur titles and one U.S. Girls' Junior championship. Kaori Yamamoto of Japan had a three-stroke lead when the round was suspended because of darkness. She was 8 under after her second straight 67.
