Furyk, Villegas leading at suspended BMW

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Jim Furyk moved into the third-round lead at the BMW Championship Saturday but must wait to see if the lead holds up against Camilo Villegas.

Furyk set a tournament scoring record with an 8-under 62 in the second round, then followed with a 66 in the third round to complete a long day that forced him to squeeze in 36 holes. He stood at 12-under 198 for a clubhouse lead, but 23 players had not finished their third rounds before play, delayed by bad weather, was suspended due to darkness.

Villegas, after taking the first-round lead Friday, had a 5-under 65 Saturday that also gave him the 36-hole lead. He was tied with Furyk at 12-under when play was suspended, with the young Colombian still needing to play the last five holes of his third round.

The third round was to be completed Sunday morning before the final round begins.

The tournament has struggled to get back on track following a rainy Thursday that saw the entire first round washed out. There was a 70-minute weather delay Saturday.

Sunday's final round will be played off the first and 10th tees.

Brian Gay, following back-to-back 67s, moved within two shots of Furyk and Villegas at 10-under with three holes left in his third round. Anthony Kim stood at 9-under with just one more hole to play.

Joining Furyk in the clubhouse were K.J. Choi, D.J. Trahan and Aaron Baddeley, who were at 8-under 202.
