It was the weather and not the golfers that dominated headlines on Saturday during the third round of the 2016 PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

The top five golfers on the leaderboard didn’t even get the opportunity to tee off as storms in the area suspended play, per Golf.com, which means Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb are still pacing the field with Jason Day and others chasing:

The full leaderboard can be found at the PGA Tour’s official website.

ESPN Stats & Info pointed out the weather concerns are nothing new at Baltrusol:

While Walker, Streb and others were left watching, Kevin Kisner took full advantage of his moving day in the early going. He is tied for sixth place at five under for the tournament following a five-under 65 on Saturday. Were it not for two straight bogeys on Nos. 6 and 7, it would have been an even better day for Kisner, but he still made up for it with seven birdies, including three in a row on Nos. 15-17.

Kisner said his mindset was simply to attack the birdie opportunities, per Ryan Herrington of Golf Digest, “Yeah, well, 20 under won the last major. I think you better attack it every time you get a chance on the PGA Tour.”
