Under mostly cloudy skies, humid temperatures were in the mid-to-upper 80s. Light rain fell mid-morning, with playing being stopped at 1:48 pm CT because of a threatening situation. Play was scheduled to resume at 4:15 p.m., however another cell had developed at that time, lengthening the weather delay. At 5:25 p.m., the third-round was ultimately postponed until 7:20 a.m. Sunday morning.
• At the time of the suspension, Briny Baird faced the longest stretch to finish his third-round. He returns Sunday morning to face a three-foot, three-inch putt on the par-4 fourth hole. With just 35 players in the house after round-three, 46 remain to finish their round from a field of 81.
• Other tournaments affected by weather delays this season have been the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (15-minute frost delay on Saturday), the FBR Open (frost delays each of the first three days), the PODS Championship (suspensions on Thursday and Friday due to dangerous situations), and last week's World Golf Championships-CA Championship (several threatening situations) which resulted in the first PGA TOUR Monday finish of the year.
