PGA Championship set to resume at 7am this morning

PGA Championship leaderboard, tee times http://www.pgatour.com/tournaments/pga-championship/leaderboard.html

At 215pm on Saturday play was suspended, then eventually abandoned. Here's what you need to know about play today.

*Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb, are in the lead at -9 but never did tee off as did 8 others. Only 37 of the 86 players who made the cut completed the third round

*The third round is scheduled to resume at 7 a.m., weather permitting. More rain is in the forecast today and tomorrow so this championship may end on Tuesday. The PGA said players would stay in the same pairings and go off in the same order for the final round, starting as early as 8:40 a.m which means some will be playing their 4th rounds while others are playing their 3rd.

*The players are warming up on the practice range right now. Here is the weather forecast https://www.google.ca/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=EcrMVb3XM4WN8QeTx63wAQ&gws_rd=ssl#q=weather+forecast+for+springfield+nj

* Players will return to where they finished to complete their 3rd rounds, and the leaders (5 pairings) will begin their rounds on the first tee.

* Players will not be allowed to lift clean and place

* Kevin Kisner had a -5 65 205 and Padraig Harrington also had a 65 -4 206 as they made the biggest moves up the leaderboard.

*Phil Mickelson who won here on a Monday finish in 2005 shot a 68 on Saturday to sit at -1 209 then had this to say. “There is a low 60s round,” I think somebody is going to break that 63 record in these next two days. The greens are pristine. You can make a lot of putts. They are soft, so you can get the ball very close. I think that there’s that 61 or 62 out there that I was probably trying to chase a little too hard.”

So plans are in place, but as always Mother Nature may not have received the memo. What I do know is this will now be a shootout with the course being so soft and greens receiving 4 irons like they were wedges.

Today will be a test of patience as much as golfing ability, also luck comes into play with the possibility of mud balls affecting ball flight.

Listen for my report on TSN1050 this morning at 745am.
