Play at the US Open is suspended due to stormy weather conditions, leaving Ian Poulter at the top of the leaderboard on three-under par.

The first round of the US Open has been suspended due to the threat of a severe storm hitting Merion.

Ian Poulter currently sits at the top of the leaderboard after scoring three birdies from his first three holes, while Nicolas Colsaerts, Charl Schwartzel, Tim Clark and Charley Hoffman are all tied on two under.

It has yet to be confirmed when play will resume as both the 11th and 12th hole are prone to flooding, and the area has suffered more than six inches of rain over the last week.

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott were due to get underway later on this evening.
