SINGAPORE — Southeast Asia's fickle weather forced the organizers of the Singapore Open to delay the completion of the final round until Monday just as Jordan Spieth was making a late charge for the title.
Trailing by two shots at 10 under but still with a chance of winning, Spieth was just about to attempt a short birdie putt on the final hole on Sunday when the weather suddenly turned foul and officials ordered play be stopped because of lightning strikes in the area.
The world's top-ranked golfer was unable to hide his frustration as he trudged off the green just before the skies opened and heavy rain began to fall, stalling his momentum while providing a reprieve for the leader, Song Young-han of South Korea, who was at 12 under but facing a testing putt to save par on the 16th.
