Golf-Vegas has lead cut in half in third round at Barbasol (Reuters)

July 16 (Reuters) - Jhonattan Vegas cooled off along with the Alabama temperatures on Saturday at the Barbasol Championship where his six-stroke lead was cut in half before the third round was halted due to bad weather.

The Venezuelan leader, who fired a 60 to take command one day earlier, struggled through 13 holes, dropping one shot to slip to 16-under for the tournament before thunderstorms forced the suspension of play.

More than half the field will finish their third round on Sunday morning, and officials still hope to complete the fourth round on time at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Opelika.
