Retief Goosen (69) and Camilo Villegas (71) led a six-way tie at 10-under 134.

The tournament is scheduled for a 36-hole finish Sunday after three straight days of heavy rain that dumped more than two inches of water and caused nearly 12 hours of weather delays.

It was raining steadily when the second round was completed just before 3:30 p.m. local time Saturday.

The field was trimmed to 64 players, who will go out in threesomes off the No. 1 and No. 10 tees starting at 6:45 a.m. Sunday.

Officials said they hoped to get the final two rounds in by Sunday night.
