A HEAVY RAINSTORM postponed the finish of the BMW Championship, the penultimate event of the US PGA Tour playoffs.
Only six players finished their final rounds at Conway Farms, where play was delayed twice before officials halted the round until Monday morning.
There were still 22 players in the field of 70 yet to tee off, including leader Jim Furyk, who matched the tour record low round with a 59 on Friday and followed with a 69 on Saturday to stand on 13-under par.
Steve Stricker was second on 12-under with defending US PGA playoff champion Brandt Snedeker another stroke back. Zach Johnson and world number one Tiger Woods complete an all-American top five.
The top 30 players on the playoff points list after the final round will advance to next week’s season-ending Tour Championship at Atlanta, with the top five on that list being assured of winning the playoff crown and a $10 million prize should they win the tournament.
Rory McIlroy fired his second 68 in a row before play was halted, giving him back-to-back rounds in the 60s for the first time this season in the same US PGA Tour event. He finished 72 holes on seven-over par.
England’s Lee Westwood, who clung to the 30th and last Tour Championship berth when the week began, fired a 74 and dropped out of the top 30 in points.
