Australian Aaron Baddeley remians only three strokes behind halfway American leader J.B. Holmes after completing just one hole before bad weather wreaked havoc during the third round at the US PGA Championship today.
Baddeley made par to remain at two over, while Holmes was among six players who did not even make it to the first tee at Oakland Hills.
After play was halted at 2.26pm (local time), a series of thunderstorms rolled through, preventing any further competition, and creating the distinct possibility of a Monday finish.
Officials hope to complete 36 holes tomorrow, with play scheduled to resume at the crack of dawn, but it will be touch and go if there are any further delays.
Twenty-five players completed the third round, including five of the eight Australians who made the cut, but none of the Australians moved into contention.
The other Australians unable to complete the round were Stuart Appleby and Steve Elkington.
Appleby improved his position, picking up two strokes in 12 holes to be four over after 12 holes, while Elkington dropped a shot to slip to five over after seven holes.
Argentine Andres Romero made the biggest move, shooting a sizzling five-under 65 that matched the course record.
