PGA Tour Zurich Classic leaderboard http://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html
Third-round play was suspended at 10:08 a.m. CT this morning (1108 est) at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana because of impending inclement weather.
Third round play was suspended Saturday and resumed Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. CT. With the 3-day forecast calling for more rain in southeast Louisiana, the chances of the tournament being shortened from 72 holes appear to go up every hour. As of now, tournament officials are hopeful of resuming play later today and completing 72 holes Monday, weather permitting.
Brian Stuard and Jhonattan Vegas share the partial third-round lead at 13-under par over the squishy par 72, 7,412-yard Pete Dye layout.
Scott Stallings, Bobby Wyatt and last week's winner at the Valero Texas Open, Charley Hoffman were all -6 on their respective rounds before play was halted. Wyatt sits just one shot back, while Hoffman and Stallings went into the clubhouse for the delay three shots behind the co-leaders.
There comes a time when officials will have to fish or cut bait, and with this system socked in I agree with the sentiment to declare the whole weekend a wash and give the prize money to charities which badly need it in this hurricane torn area.
At best everyone has to hang around to see if they can even get 54 holes done, which would be the second choice after 72. They have told the field to make plans to stay until Monday night, and the PGA Tour will make every effort to make that happen, but the forecast sure doesn't look promising.
