WUHAN, China – Champion Justin Shin didn’t play Nos. 7-9 well this week, finishing his four rounds a cumulative 4-over there without a birdie. But he took care of business on the par-5 10th hole. On that hole, he was 5-under for the week, with three birdies and an eagle-3 in the second round.

Justin Shin’s victory is the first by a Canadian in Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series’ history. This season, other wins have come from Josh Geary (New Zealand) and Shih Chang Chan (Chinese Taipei).

With Chinese Taipei’s Shih Chang Chan taking this week off, New Zealand’s Josh Geary moved back ahead on the Order of Merit. He leads Chan by ￥8,227. Geary earned  ￥34,800 for his tie for ninth this week. With his victory Sunday, Justin Shin slid into the third position on the earnings’ chart. He’s made ￥243,480 this season.

The round of the day belonged to Canada’s Eugene Wong, shooting a 5-under 67, punctuated with a two-foot, 18th-hole birdie putt Sunday. Wong has made all three cuts this year, and his runner-up performance this week is his second top-10 of the year—to go with his tie for eighth at the season-opening Buick Open. He moved to fourth on the Order of Merit.

Gwowu Zhou picked up his career-best finish—a tie for 12th, after firing a 4-under 68 Sunday at Wuhan Yishan Golf Club. A year ago, in 10 Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series’ starts, Zhou, a native of Guandong, had his best performance at the Earls Beijing Open when he tied for 19th.

Finland’s Teemu Putkonen had the best performance of his Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series’ career this week, earning a tie for 12th. Putkonen, a native of Jarvenpaa, shot weekend rounds of 68-73 to earn the top-15. In his only other start this season, he missed the cut at The Eternal Courtyard Open in Zhengzhou.

Just like in the second round, the par-4 12th hole at Wuhan Yishan Golf Club played as the most-difficult on the final day, with a stroke average of 4.51—the same as in the second round. The 15th hole was the easiest Sunday, with the par-5 giving up 35 birdies and playing to a stroke average of 4.57. Champion Justin Shin played the 15th in 3-under for the week, with three birdies and a par in the last round.

Justin Shin is the first third-round leader to go on to victory this season after three tournaments. A year ago, 10 of the 12 champions were the 54-hole leaders.

Amateur Zihan She tied for fifth for his first career top-10 on the Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series. He opened his season with a 69th-place showing at the Buick Open and a 65th-place performance at The Eternal Courtyard Open.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Haruka Morita-WanyaoLu won the Symetra Classic on Saturday for her Symetra Tour title, beating Canada’s Augusta James with a birdie on the second hole of a playoff.

Morita-WanyaoLu hit an 8-iron to 5 feet to set up her winning birdie on the par- 3 18th.

“I thought finally, finally,” Morita-WanyaoLu said. “Finally, I was able to win.”

Morita-WanyaoLu closed with a 5-under 67 to match James at 12-under 204 at Raintree Country Club.

“I never thought about winning,” Morita-WanyaoLu said. “I just wanted to take it hole-by-hole and that’s what helped me to post a good score.”

The 18-year-old Morita-WanyaoLu is Chinese-Japanese – Haruka Morita is her Japanese name and Wanyao Lu her Chinese name. She plays under the Chinese flag because she can’t become a naturalized Japanese citizen until age 21 even though she was born in Japan and her first language is Japanese.

“There’s a lot of people who are going to be very happy back home,” said Morita-WanyaoLu, the 2013 Japan Women’s Amateur champion.

James, the Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial winner last month in Florida, birdied the final hole of regulation for a 67.

“I definitely grinded really hard,” said James, the former North Carolina State player from Bath, Ontario. “It was a huge battle between a bunch of us out there. I can take away the fact that it’s out there for me, another win, and I’m working hard and grinding hard to get those.”

Morita-WanyaoLu earned $16,500 to jump from 24th to seventh on the money list with $27,353. James made $10,102 to move from sixth to second with $34,387. The final top 10 will earn 2016 LPGA Tour cards.

Rachel Rohanna was third at 11 under, also after a 67.

Chilly overnight temperatures delayed starting times this morning at Pine Knot Golf & Country Club for the second round of the CN Future Links Ontario Championship in Dorchester, Ont. Alyssa Getty and Nicholas Brisebois did not let the later start slow their paces as both matched their first round tallies to claim the lead.

Alyssa Getty shot a 3-over-par 74 to climb into first place in the Junior Girls division. The Ruthven, Ont., native took advantage of the par fives today, birdieing both the 2nd and 14th holes. Her identical first and second rounds have her at 6-over par. Opening round leader Selena Costabile remains within striking distance, back by just a single shot. After a tough start on the front nine, the Thornhill Ont., product settled down to shoot even par on the back nine to finish with a round of 78.

Four shots back is Team Canada Development Squad member Grace St-Germain. The Ottawa native sits in a three-way tie for third place with Annika Haynes of Oakville, Ont., and Hannah Lee of Surrey, B.C.

With back-to-back rounds of 69, Nicholas Brisebois finds himself in sole possession of the lead in the Junior Boys division. A trio of birdies down the stretch has the Ottawa native at 4-under par for the tournament – two shots clear of L’Île-Perrot, Que., native Sun Kim. Brendan Seys carded an even par round to finish alone in third.

The battle for fourth features seven players, including Tony Gil from Vaughan, Ont., who notched six birdies en route to a 1-under-par 70. He currently sits at even par for the tournament alongside Development Squad teammate Trevor Ranton of Waterloo, Ont. Fellow National Squad member Étienne Papineau from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., completed the round at even par to move into a share of 22^nd place.

From August 3-6, the 2015 Canadian Junior Boys Championship will be hosted by Summerlea Golf & Country Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que. Earning entry into this competition will be the top six finishers in the Junior Boys division of the CN Future Links Ontario Championship.

The 2015 Canadian Junior Girls Championship will be played August 4-7 at Deer Park Municipal Golf Course in Yorkton, Sask., with the top six finishers from the CN Future Links Ontario Championship earning exemptions into the event. In addition, each of the six CN Future Links Champions from this season will receive an exemption into a 2016 Canadian Women’s Tour event.

The final round of the CN Future Links Ontario Championship will begin tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. EDT with the final group on the tee at 12:50 p.m. EDT.

Full second round results and final day pairings are available here.

FORT WORTH, Texas – The last time Kevin Na took the lead into the final round of a tournament, he faltered badly.

For Ian Poulter, though he laughs about it, there is that anonymous survey of PGA Tour players done by Sports Illustrated where he and Rickie Fowler tied as the most overrated player on tour.

Na and Poulter both have a chance to change perceptions at Colonial.

With a birdie on the 17th hole Saturday, after the pair played from almost the same spot, Na regained the outright lead for a one-stroke advantage over Poulter going into the final round at a very damp Hogan’s Alley.

“When it comes to crunch time, you’ve got to trust your stroke and just stay in the moment,” Na said when asked about a chance for his second PGA Tour victory Sunday.

At The Players Championship three years ago, Na led after 54 holes before closing with a 76. He shared the second-round leading there this month before Fowler’s victory that Poulter eluded to this week.

“Rickie went out there and obviously made amends,” Poulter said, referring to the SI survey.

Na shot a 1-under 69 on Saturday, a round that included a couple of bogeys, to reach 11-under 199. Poulter had a 68.

Poulter made a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 7 for a share of the lead at 10 under. He was still part of the lead after a sand save at No. 9, where he blasted to 6 feet from a bunker to save par.

But he dropped out of a lead after starting the back nine with a four-putt double bogey from 16 feet at No. 10. A 3-footer on his third putt doing a U-turn around the cup without going in, though he got one of those strokes back with a 6-foot birdie putt at the 635-yard 11th.

Poulter got even again with a 32-foot birdie putt at No. 15, the same hole Na two-putted from 6 feet after his approach missed the green.

“Pleased with how I played, just a little mishap there on 10,” Poulter said. “It didn’t break, and then a few more putts it took to get in the hole.”

With their golf balls close to each other on the 17th green, Poulter had a 15-foot birdie try that slid by the hole. But Na then made his 14-footer after watching no break in Poulter’s putt.

“I trusted my read, a little outside right and it turned nicely into the hole,” Na said. “It was nice because I was under par going into the last hole.”

With the leaders teeing off at 9:10 a.m., and playing in threesomes instead of the normal weekend twosomes, play was completed about 2 p.m. Saturday. That was about 3 1/2 hours earlier than usual for a weekend round for Colonial leaders.

PGA Tour officials moved up play because of the threat of severe afternoon storms. There were overcast and muggy conditions, with some light rain but no delays. Heavy rain was forecast overnight and into Sunday, with plans again for threesomes and early tee times off both Nos. 1 and 10 for the final round.

Charley Hoffman has third at 9 under after a 66. Chris Kirk, a two-time PGA Tour winner last season, had a 65 for the best round of the day and was tied for fourth at 8 under with Brandt Snedeker (66).

Defending champion Adam Scott carded his second consecutive 66 since an opening 72. He was tied for 10th at 6 under in a group that included Jordan Spieth, the 21-year-old Masters champion from Dallas playing the first of consecutive weeks at home in North Texas.

Spieth, the first-round co-leader after a 64, followed his second-round 73 with a 67.

George McNeill got off to a fast start, with four birdies on the first six holes, matching Na at 10 under after the second-round leader had already given back the stroke he earned with his 16-foot birdie putt at No. 3.

Na had a bogey at No. 5, the par 4 along the Trinity River that is the hardest hole on the course. Na hit a tee shot into the hazard and had to take a penalty drop.

McNeill, playing in the group directly ahead of Na, rolled in a 16-foot birdie putt at No. 5 and an 11-footer at No. 6 to get to 10 under. But McNeill hit his drive at No. 12 into the rough and wound up with the first of three bogeys in five holes. He was 7 under after a 69.

Canadian Nick Taylor shot a round of 68 today. Joining him in a tie for tenth place is Adam Hadwin with a round of 69.

At T17 is Graham DeLaet with a round of 67 and David Hearn carded a round of 69, sitting T62.

FRENCH LICK, Ind. – Colin Montgomerie was long considered one of the best players in golf who had never won a major championship.

As a senior, he has said no more.

Montgomerie shot a 2-under 70 on Saturday on The Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort to take a three-shot lead into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship.

At 5-under 211, the 51-year-old Scot was in position to win his third senior major championship in a year. He won the Senior PGA last year at Harbor Shores in Michigan, and took the U.S. Senior Open in July in Oklahoma.

“It was frustrating to come to these championships and walk off with the runner-ups’ medal,” Montgomerie said. “I’ve done that five times. You try your damnedest and you come up a shot light.

“I’m more relaxed now. I’m more relaxed than I was. My temperament is more consistent and I think that’s helping. I’m enjoying it, I really am. I’m a great believer that if you enjoy something, you’re usually quite good at it.”

Bernhard Langer, a four-time winner in senior majors, was second after a 68. He eagled the 415-yard, par-4 eighth hole and closed with consecutive birdies after a bogey at the par-5 16th.

Montgomerie and Langer will play in the final twosome Sunday, just like they did last year at Harbor Shores, when Montgomerie shot a 65 and won by four.

Scott Verplank, Esteban Toledo and Brian Henninger were tied for third at 1 under. Verplank shot 70, Toledo 73, and Henninger 74.

Henninger made a triple bogey on the 16th to drop out of a share of the lead. His second shot on the 539-yard hole darted right, into deep, deep rough and he had to declare his ball lost.

Second-round leader Tom Lehman had a 79 to drop into a tie for 13th at 2 over.

“I just didn’t make them,” said Lehman, who had three three-putts and 34 putts in all.

Langer was fortified by his birdie-birdie finish, but he wondered what might have been after hitting a wedge from 80 yards over the green at 16 and making bogey and missing a couple short putts.

“I had two of the worst lip-outs ever in my life,” Langer said. “On No. 3, I hit a putt that went in on the left, went all the way around and came back out this way. So it went 460 degrees.”

Thirty of the 76 players who made the cut shot par or better on a sunny Saturday with a tricky wind. Eleven players go into the final round within six shots of Montgomerie.

“I am where I am. I would rather be leading by eight, but I’m not,” said one of them, Verplank, who has struggled with injuries over his two Champions Tour seasons.

Verplank and the rest can by comforted by the severity of the Course. Things can happen fast on it. They happened fast Saturday.

Langer holed a 7-iron from 162 yards for his eagle at No. 8.

A few minutes later and a few groups behind, Lehman three-putted No. 6 for a bogey. One group ahead, Toledo half-shanked his tee shot into the pond alongside the par-3 seventh green and made double bogey. Then Lehman missed the green at No. 7 and made another bogey.

Suddenly, Langer, Lehman, Toledo and Montgomerie were tied for the lead at 2 under. Anything can happen on a course as severe as Dye’s treeless, windswept hilltop monster.

“There’s a potential double around every corner here,” said Montgomerie, who had a lone bogey Saturday. “Long day ahead tomorrow. There’s a seven-mile walk, and the emotions will go up and down like a roller coaster.”

VIRGINIA WATER, England – Byeong Hun An shot a 5-under 67 Saturday to share the lead with Francesco Molinari after the third round of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The South Korean trailed by a shot at the midway stage but made seven birdies, including two in the last two holes, to equal the Italian’s overall score of 14-under 202 going into the final day.

Molinari, who has led from round one, shot a 68. Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand was two shots back in third after a 68, while Tommy Fleetwood and Miguel Angel Jimenez provided the highlights of the day as they also advanced up the leaderboard.

“It is not easy to lead the tournament from the first day even though it is the ideal position,” Molinari said. “You’ve got guys coming for you. Today, you could hear the roars for eagles and an albatross.”

The roars Molinari heard were mainly for Fleetwood and Jimenez, who galvanized the crowd at the European Tour’s flagship event.

The evergreen 51-year-old Jimenez, a winner at Wentworth in 2008, hit a European Tour-record 10th hole-in-one when he converted his tee shot from 148 yards at the par-3 No. 2 with a 9-iron.

It was the Spaniard’s third hole-in-one this season and his round of 68 took him to 10 under and into fifth place.

“I got the right club in my hand and it was a beautiful swing,” Jimenez said of his ace. “It is nice to see the leaderboard and not be too far away.”

Fleetwood made an albatross on the par-5 fourth hole, with a 7-iron from 198 yards.

The Englishman followed it up with an eagle from 15 feet on No. 12 and went on to card a 65 to rise into fourth.

“That was about as good as you can play a hole of golf,” Fleetwood said of his albatross. “Perfect drive, 198 yards to the pin. I was thinking one (club) less but went with a normal 7-iron and it pitched seven or eight feet right of the pin and span in.”

The 23-year-old An is competing in his first full season on the European Tour after playing on the second-tier Challenge Tour for three years.

“It was really consistent all day,” An said. “I started with a birdie and it is good I am a co-leader. But I am going to play my game and not look at the position I am in when I try and play my shots tomorrow.”

Top-ranked Rory McIlroy missed the cut after a 78 on Friday.

FORT WORTH, Texas – Kevin Na had gone 26 holes without a bogey at Colonial before his last tee shot Friday was swept away by flowing water after going into a rain-swollen drainage culvert.

Not even that could dampen Na’s second round that gave him the lead halfway through the soggy tournament.

Na took the penalty drop near the 17th fairway, and hit a blind approach shot over bleachers to the back side of the 18th green. His two-putt from 20 feet wrapped up a 4-under 66.

“A good bogey,” Na said.

At 10-under 130, Na was two strokes ahead of Ian Poulter (67) and three up on 2013 Colonial winner Boo Weekley (69).

Na also made some long birdie putts. His 30-footer off the fringe at No. 14 came right after rolling in a 22-footer at the 13th, where he broke into a dance for the rowdy fans surrounding the par 3 situated on the edge of Hogan’s Alley.

“I want to call it the Big Bird dance. … It just came out. I wasn’t really thinking about it,” the 31-year-old Na said. “You know, the crowd has been very supportive. I felt like I was from Texas.”

Masters champion Jordan Spieth, a real Texan, was alone in the lead without a bogey before losing four strokes in a two-hole span.

Spieth finished with a 73, nine strokes worse than his opening round 64 that had him in a four-way tie on top. He dropped seven strokes back at 3 under, in a crowded tie for 15th place.

“I had a goal in mind, and it was a higher score than (Thursday) given the conditions,” said Spieth, the 21-year-old Dallas player playing consecutive weeks at home in North Texas. “I wanted to no blemishes, and then we held that late through 12 holes.”

There were periods of steady rain for the morning groups, but no delays. That was after Thursday’s first round started three hours late following more than an inch of rain fell overnight.

With more inclement weather expected Saturday, including the possibility of severe storms in the afternoon, players in the third round will be grouped in threesomes instead of the normal twosomes and go off both tees Nos. 1 and 10.

The lead group of Na, Poulter and Weekley was scheduled to tee off around 9 a.m. Saturday, more than 3 1/2 hours earlier than usual for the leaders’ group at Colonial.

Heavy rain also was in the forecast Sunday.

Poulter, playing his first Colonial since 2010, had bogeys on his first and last holes Friday. His only bogey Thursday came on his last hole, costing him a share of the first-round lead.

A half-inch adjustment in his putting grip has paid off at Colonial, with only 25 putts in each of the first two rounds.

When going through boxes of pictures to find some to put on the wall in a new guest house he is building, Poulter came across one when he noticed the forefinger of his left hand was in a different spot. He first adjusted during the pro-am round Wednesday.

“It felt pretty good, and obviously it was pretty good (Thursday) and it’s continued,” he said. “It’s angled further down toward the shot. So it’s almost more parallel to the shot. … It’s probably only a position of half an inch difference to what it was, but sometimes half an inch makes a big difference on a feel.”

About the same time that Poulter rolled in a 14-foot birdie putt at No. 6 to get to 8 under, Spieth was making a bogey two holes back after he missed the green at the challenging par-3 fourth and didn’t make a 6-foot par- saver to drop to 7 under.

Spieth followed with a triple bogey at No. 5, taking a drop in the rough after hitting his tee shot way right into a hazard adjacent to the Trinity River. His approach rattled around in the upper branches of a tree before dropping about 75 yards short of the green.

With a steady rain falling, Spieth then missed a 4-foot birdie try at No. 6 and bogeyed the par-3 eighth from a greenside bunker.

“That’s kind of unlike me. It’s not something I do, compound mistakes,” he said. “I had chances to bounce back there, and wasn’t able to do it.”

 Three Canadians sat within the top-25 heading into weekend action in Fort Worth. Adam Hadwin (66) was tied for 6th, Nick Taylor (68) had a share of 11th, and Graham Delaet (68) was in a logjam of players who were tied for 25th.

FRENCH LICK, Ind. – Tom Lehman started the second round of the Senior PGA Championship on the 10th tee Friday afternoon. He might as well have started it on a launch pad.

Lehman birdied three of his first four holes on French Lick Resort’s rigorous Pete Dye Course and kept right on going. He shot a 5-under 67 – matching the best round of the week – to take the lead at the halfway point of the Champions Tour’s second major championship of the year.

At 4 under, Lehman led his playing partner of the first two rounds, defending champion Colin Montgomerie, and Brian Henninger by a stroke. Montgomerie shot 69, and Henninger matched Lehman’s 67.

The severity of the course has caused some players to grumble about Dye, its designer. Not Lehman.

“Pete Dye courses, in general, I enjoy,” said Lehman, who hit 16 greens in regulation Friday. “I really enjoy his style of architecture. I like the way he thinks. I like the way he makes the player think.”

There have been only seven rounds in the 60s, all of which came with milder weather conditions prevailing Friday, when tournament officials trimmed more than 100 yards off the first-round setup, from 7,040 yards to 6,914.

Montgomerie relished the buzz of playing with the leader, and he wants more.

“We stood in there battling around,” Montgomerie said. “I’m going to play with him (again) tomorrow, probably in the last group, and I look forward to that.”

Lehman won the British Open in 1996 and the Senior PGA Championship in 2010 in Colorado. Montgomerie dominated the European Tour during the 1990s, topping the money list eight consecutive seasons. In addition to the Senior PGA, he won the U.S. Senior Open last year.

Esteban Toledo was 2 under after a 68. First-round leader Massy Kuramoto had a 72 to drop to fifth at 1 under. Peter Fowler, Woody Austin and Jean Francois Remesy were even par. Fowler birdied the final hole for a 67, Austin shot 71, and Remesy 72.

Henninger and Toledo were PGA Tour journeymen. Being situated so near the top of the leaderboard and doing it on so daunting course in a senior major was not lost on Toledo. It’s new ground.

“This is a different week,” said Toledo, a two-time winner in two-plus seasons on the Champions Tour. “This is a different tournament. This is different conditions. It’s probably one of the toughest I’ve seen.”

The early starters again went off with temperatures in the upper-40s but the sun shone brightly and the day warmed into the mid-70s, although wind made club selection difficult and misses frequent.

Toledo made five birdies and a lone bogey. The Mexican player has thrived on superior ball-striking, hitting 21 of 28 fairways and 26 of 36 greens in regulation.

Bernhard Langer, a 23-time winner on the Champions Tour, was 1 over after a 72.

The Dye Course’s severe slopes and radical bounces can get to a player. Mark Calcavecchia parred the 566-yard, par-5 ninth hole Friday, but it was anything but routine.

He broke two clubs.

Calcavecchia drove into the left rough and, after hitting a second shot he deemed unacceptable, broke his club over his knee. He missed the green with his third shot and snapped the shaft on that club by slamming it into the ground. Calcavecchia missed the cut, finishing at 14 over after a 77.

Rod Spittle was the lone Canadian to make the cut. The St. Catharine’s, Ont., native is 8 over and tied for 66th heading into the weekend.

First round action at the CN Future Links Ontario Championship wrapped up today at Pine Knot Golf & Country Club in Dorcester, Ont., with Kevin Gordon and Nicholas Brisebois tied for the early lead in the Junior Boys division. Selena Costabile holds the first round lead in the Junior Girls division.

Whitby, Ont., native Kevin Gordon was in the first group off the tee this morning and he continues to lead the field. He turned in a 2 under par round of 69 and finished strong with four birdies on the back nine for a 32.

Co-leader Nicholas Brisebois from Kanata, Ont., started strong with an eagle on the second hole and added another to his card on the 13th. Standing on the 15th tee, he was 7-under par, but stumbled in the last four holes to conclude the opening day at 69.

Not far behind sitting T5 with a round of even par 71 is Team Canada Development Squad member Trevor Ranton. The Waterloo, Ont., native recently opened Golf Canada’s competitive season with a wire-to-wire win at the 2015 CN Future Links Pacific Championship.

One shot back is fellow Development Squad teammate Tony Gil of Vaughan, Ont., who sits T11 going into the second day of play. Rounding out the national team contingent on the Junior Boys side is Étienne Papineau from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., who is T37 after a round of 76.

In the Junior Girls division, Selena Costabile of Thornhill, Ont., ended the day at the top of the leaderboard with an even par 71.  She heads into the weekend in hopes of improving upon her runner-up finish at this event in 2014.

Following close behind in second place with a round of 74 is Alyssa Getty. The Ruthven, Ont., product is the reigning CN Future Links Quebec champion.

Development Squad member Grace St-Germain shot a 6-over-par 77 for sole possession of fourth place. She enters the second round aiming to continue her early season success after taking the CN Future Links Pacific title to complete a Team Canada sweep at the event.

The Junior Boys winner of the CN Future Links Ontario Championship and the following five finishers will earn exemptions into the field at the 2015 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, to be contested at Summerlea Golf & Country Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., from August 3-6. On the Junior Girls side, the winner and the first to fifth runners-up will earn direct entry into the 2015 Canadian Junior Girls Championship hosted by Deer Park Municipal Golf Course in Yorkton, Sask., from August 4-7.

The competition at the CN Future Links Ontario Championship continues tomorrow with the Junior Girls beginning their second rounds at 7:30 a.m. EDT; the Junior Boys are set to follow at 9 a.m. EDT.

FORT WORTH, Texas –  The leaders at Colonial won’t get to sleep late Saturday.

Due to the expectation of inclement weather, including the possibility of severe storms Saturday afternoon, the PGA Tour said Friday that players in the third round will be grouped in threesomes instead of the normal twosomes and go off both tees Nos. 1 and 10.

The last group Saturday is expected to start around 9 a.m., more than 3 1-2 hours earlier than usual for a weekend round for the leader at Hogan’s Alley.

Thursday’s first round started three hours late after more than an inch of rain fell overnight.

There were periodic showers for the second round Friday, though there were no delays through mid-afternoon.

Heavy rain is also in the forecast Sunday.
