Here are nine tidbits from the third round of the 79th Wyndham Championship gamers can use tomorrow, this weekend or down the road. Sedgefield Country Club resumed hosting duties of this event in 2008 and plays 7,127 yards to a Par-70. KNOW THY ENEMY These were the top-10 selected golfers in the PGA TOUR Fantasy Golf game presented by SERVPRO. Play was suspended at 3:27 pm ET and was eventually called for the day just before 7:00 pm. The players will be in position and Round 3 will resume Sunday morning at 8:00 am. Thunderstorms are in the forecast for Sunday afternoon too. WHERE SNEDS STANDS Beginning the day with a two-shot lead over D.A. Points, Brandt Snedeker didn’t show any signs of slowing down in his first seven holes. He’s 16-under and has a three-shot lead over Brian Gay. The 2007 champ at Forest Hills said after Round 2 that keeping it in the fairway will give him more chances to lean on his dialed-in iron game and trusty putter. He only hit two of his first five fairways but found five of seven greens. He’s also holed putts from almost 60 and 10 feet for birdies and is bogey-free, two-under for the day. BEST ROUND ON THE COURSE After eight birdies and 63 (-7) in Round 2, Brian Gay picked up right where he left off in Round 3. He went out in 30 with three birdies and an eagle and added another small bird on No. 12 to get to six-under for the round. He’s the closest to the leader as those 12 birdies over his last 30 holes have closed the gap. He was probably the last person that wanted or needed a delay! HUSBAND AND WIFE C.T. Pan shared through social media that he’s spending Chinese Valentine’s Day with his wife on the bag this week. It’s working! He opened 65-64 and is one-under in Round 3 (T3). He’s only made three bogeys on the week so this partnership is obviously working on and off the course. BEEN HERE, DONE THAT The 2009 champion Ryan Moore knows how to get around Sedgefield and gamers were reminded of that with his 63 in Round 1. Moore’s only other top-10 payday in Greensboro was in 2015 but after five birdies against only one bogey in Round 3, he’s just five back. MOVING DAY Michael Thompson found 13 of 14 fairways and painted all 18 greens to post 63, the round of the day in the clubhouse. His bogey-free effort included 29 putts but he still circled five birdies and an eagle. At the time of the suspension of play he moved up 34 spots to T7. Gamers who haven’t burned Hideki Matsuyama yet were offered more evidence in Round 3 as to why this might be a solid playoff idea. He posted 64 with a bogey at the last as he found 16-of-18 GIR. At the time of the delay he was first in Strokes-Gained: Approach-the-Green and second in proximity. This is his third event running with a round of 67 or better. Jamie Lovemark posted 64 and that’s his best of the year. Better late than never as he has moved up 30 spots to T11 and is safely in the clubhouse. THE MORE, THE MERRIER Gamers who are excited that their investments are at or around double-digits under-par should be: 2015: Top 30 all 10-under or better. 2016: Top 32 all 10-under or better. 2017: Top 27 all 10-under or better. Currently the top 21 cover that requirement. MOVING DAY: WRONG WAY Peter Malnati began Round 3 T4 and No. 164 in FedExCup points so he needed to carry on his momentum. He’s one of only five players on the course with an over-par round brewing (+2 through 8) and has dropped to T39. Sadly, defending champion Henrik Stenson also has one of those rounds brewing (+1 through 14) as he’s dropped from T15 to T47. STUDY HALL Round 3 scoring average at the time of suspension was 67.899 (-2.101). The last time the Wyndham Championship finished on Monday Sergio Garcia took home the title. He’s currently T7. Rory McIlroy (rest) and Patrick Rodgers (wedding) will join Rickie Fowler in skipping THE NORTHERN TRUST leaving the field next week at 122. There are no alternates in ANY events of the FedExCup Playoff events, period.
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Brandt Snedeker held a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Wyndham Championship when the third round was suspended because of severe weather. Snedeker was 16 under for the tournament with 11 holes left in the round at the final event of the PGA TOUR’s regular season. Brian Gay was 13 under through 12 holes, and Trey Mullinax, Keith Mitchell, C.T. Pan and D.A. Points were another stroke back at varying stages of their rounds. Thirty players were still on the course when play was halted during the mid-afternoon with thunder booming and a threat of lightning. After a 3-hour, 23-minute delay, organizers chose to hold things up overnight and resume the round at 8 a.m. Sunday. When things resume, Snedeker — who opened with a 59 to become the first TOUR player this year and just the 10th ever to break 60 — will look to keep himself in position to contend for his ninth victory on tour and his first since the 2016 Farmers Insurance Open. The 2012 FedExCup champion won the tournament in 2007, the year before it moved across town to par-70 Sedgefield Country Club. Snedeker’s final 11 holes of the round could wind up being telling: In seven of the 10 previous years since the tournament’s move to this course, the third-round leader or co-leader has gone on to win. And every leader who finished the third round here at 16 under or better has wound up winning, including Henrik Stenson (16 under) last year and Si Woo Kim (18 under) in 2016. Snedeker started the day off strong, rolling in a 60-foot chip for birdie on the par-4 second hole, then pushed his lead to three strokes with a birdie on No. 5 that moved him to 16 under. But after he sank a short par putt on the seventh, thunder boomed and the horn sounded to stop play. Gay was 12 holes into a second consecutive strong round when the delay struck. After shooting a 63 in the second round, he had four birdies and an eagle on the par-5 fifth hole. He placed his 200-yard second shot 10 feet from the flagstick and sank the putt.
