US Open in a weather delay as rain halts play during final round at Oakmont
The final round of the 2025 U.S. Open has come to a halt. A weather delay is in place at Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh, with golfers on the course for the final round of the tournament. The PGA Tour said play was stopped due to "dangerous weather." Advertisement Play was suspended just after 4 p.m. ET as rain came pouring down onto the course, and puddles began to form on greens. Spectators were pulling out umbrellas as golfers were playing through the initial start of the rainfall, but it became heavier, and officials ultimately decided to blow the horn. Golfers began to leave the course once play stopped. The United States Golf Association announced play is scheduled to resume at 5:40 p.m. ET, which would put the delay just over 90 minutes. It had been a pretty good weekend of weather for the third major of the year, as conditions have been mostly dry during play. Temperatures reached a high of around 80 degrees for the first holes, and the first moments of rain came on Friday night. Advertisement However, Sunday was going to be a concerning day for weather as showers were expected. The National Weather Service reported rain showers were possible in the morning and scattered showers would take place throughout the day. Play was stopped with Sam Burns on top of the leaderboard at 2-under-par through seven holes. Adam Scott is in second place at 1-under-par. The two golfers are the only ones under par.

Weather-hit PGA Championship to play third round off split tees
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina :The dangerous weather that delayed the start of play at the PGA Championship has forced organisers to send players off in groups of three instead of pairs and from split tees in an effort to get the third round completed on Saturday. The third round of the year's first major, where Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas leads by two, will start at 11:43 a.m. (1543 GMT), a nearly 3-1/2 hour delay from when the first tee shots was initially scheduled to be struck. Players will set off from the first and 10th tees at Quail Hollow Club instead of everyone starting at the par-four first. Masters champion Rory McIlroy, who made the cut on the number and is nine shots back of Vegas, was on the bridge headed toward the first tee for early tee time when the horn sounded to signal play was suspended. The Northern Irishman, who was set to head out in the second pairing with defending champion Xander Schauffele, was none too pleased as he slumped his head, turned around and grinned in disbelief while appearing to utter a profanity. About an hour earlier, practice at the year's second major was suspended for 17 minutes due to dangerous weather and those outside were instructed to seek shelter. Practice facilities re-opened after a second suspension that lasted about an hour. According to the forecast, there is a severe thunderstorm watch in the area until 12:00 p.m. ET while scattered showers are expected to exit the area around mid-morning and give way to partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Intense rains pelted the course earlier this week and the soft conditions led to top players like Scottie Scheffler and Schauffele voicing their displeasure about how so-called mud balls impacted their opening round. Because players were not able to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the soggy fairways, the mud balls left some players with little control over where their next shot would go.
