5 takeaways from the third round of the Wyndham Championship

2022 Wyndham Championship

Weather is wreaking havoc on the final regular season event of the PGA Tour schedule.

Two separate rain delays halted play, caused myriad disruptions during the third round of the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. The first rain delay lasted an hour and five minutes, the second starting at 4:15 p.m. ET and ending play for the day. The second delay nearly ended at 6:40 p.m. ET, as players were in position to begin play, but a lightning strike extended the delay and ultimately ended the day. Only 12 players finished.

The third round will resume at 7:30 a.m. ET Sunday.

With a record 86 players making the cut, if play is not able to conclude Sunday, the Wyndham Championship could be headed for a Monday finish. It would be the first PGA Tour event with a Monday finish since the 2022 Players Championship in March.

Shane Lowry, who went home Friday after thinking he would miss the cut, dialed up the private jet Saturday morning and arrived with time to spare before his third-round tee time.

Meanwhile, Will Zalatoris and his caddie went their separate ways between rounds, and Zalatoris fired his second-straight round of 66 to move up the leaderboard.

There are 10 players within two shots of the lead heading to Sunday.

There’s plenty of golf left to be played, but one of the pre-tournament favorites is looking for another PGA Tour victory.

Sungjae Im was in the midst of a strong round before the horn sounded, moving into a tie of the lead at 12 under. He is 4 under thru 11 and birdied the par-4 11th.

However, Brandon Wu, who is also tied at the top, had an even better 11th hole. Seconds before the horn sounded, he holed out from 146 yards for eagle to tie the lead.

Wu is 3 under on his round, and he is 3 under in his past two holes after going out in even par.

Plenty in the mix looking for first win
