BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich., Aug. 9 (UPI) -- Play Saturday in the third round of the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills was suspended by bad weather.

Second-round leader J.B. Holmes is still at the top of the leader board, but he has not teed off in his third round. He is the only player under par for the championship and is one ahead of Charlie Wi, playing in his first major, 2003 British Open champion Ben Curtis and Justin Rose.

Steve Flesch is two-under through five holes and is tied for fifth place at plus-one for the tournament. David Toms, the 2001 champion, and Henrik Stenson, also tied for fifth, have yet to tee off in round three.

The third round is scheduled to resume at 7:15 a.m. EDT Sunday. The final round is scheduled to begin around noon with the golfers going out in threesomes off both the first and 10th tees. There is a possibility that the fourth round might go over into Monday.
