Play delayed on day three of US PGA Championship

The start of play in the third round of the US PGA Championship has been delayed due to dangerous weather in the area.

Play was due to get under way at 0700 local time (1300BST) but was pushed back by just over half an hour due to a thunderstorm in and around Southern Hills.

A statement from tournament organisers read: “Due to dangerous weather in the area, starting times for Round 3 are being adjusted.

“First tee time will be 7:37am, last tee time will be 1:50pm. Revised times will be sent shortly. Gates will not open at 6:30am as originally scheduled. Further updates will be provided.”

Will Zalatoris leads the tournament after a bogey-free second round of 65 for a halfway total of nine under par, which leads him one shot ahead of Chile’s Mito Pereira.

Rory McIlroy could only add a second round of 71 to his opening 65 to fall five shots off the pace.
