The weather that the PGA Tour hoped to avoid during the last round of the players' championship on Sunday did not stop, and now – a little more halfway from Tour 4 – the game was suspended.
Rory McILroy, comfortably in the Fairway at 12 noon, held an advance at a time when the horn left at 1:15 p.m. due to lightning. The game should now resume at 5:15 a.m., which should give them just enough sun to finish the tournament before darkness.

T3. Tom Hoge -10 (17)
T3. Akshay Bhatia -10 (12)
T3. Danny Walker -10 (12)
6. Bud Caully -9 (10)
Tee times were distant on Sunday morning to welcome the weather, the leaders found themselves around 10 a.m.
McILroy started the four strokes of the round again, but invented the ground quickly with a birdie at the first follow -up of an eagle at No. 2. A Birdie at n ° 11 gave him his head solo.
SPAUN, the third round chief, has not been able to gather a lot so far, although he has done a birdie at the ninth – his first of the day to help compensate for a pair of Bogeys.

Hoge has set up the tour of the day so far. He has 6 under his round and has a 16 -foot putt for Biride at 18 waiting for him when the game resumes.
The biggest surprise at the top of the ranking is Walker. Playing on the Korn Ferry tour a year ago, Walker was the first alternative and was not in the tournament until Thursday morning around 7 am, when Jason Day retired due to a disease. Walker, suddenly twinned with the major winners Jordan Spieth and Wyndham Clark, Teed about 90 minutes later, made the number cut, then pulled a 66 of less than 66 Saturday to put themselves.
