SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Here's the final tally from Saturday at the PGA Championship: A total of 37 players finished the third round; 39 others teed off without finishing; and 10 never even started.
That was the result of a weather suspension which began at 2:14 p.m. local time and never ended, as heavy rain pelted Baltusrol Golf Club while thunder and lightning punctuated the afternoon sky.
This weather was always in the forecast, though it's debatable whether the radar showed this much rain coming down for this long. Kerry Haigh, the PGA of America's Chief Championships Officer, explained that the forecast was similar to the first two tournament days, which included just one short delay.
