Wyndham weather halts Snedeker’s push

-

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Brandt Snedeker is bracing for a long last day at the Wyndham Championsh­ip. Snedeker held a threestrok­e lead Saturday when the third round was suspended because of severe weather. He was 16-under for the tournament with 11 holes left in the round at the final event of the PGA Tour’s regular season — and is preparing for the grind of playing 29 holes.

Snedeker says he’s had a few 36-hole days on tour and hopes his adrenalin takes over when he plays the back nine again.

“I’ve got to be really smart about making sure I’m staying hydrated and more than anything else, making sure I don’t have any mental lapses,” Snedeker said. “You mentally get fatigued and fried and make some mistakes. The key for tomorrow — make sure I don’t do that.”

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. today.

INDIANAPOL­IS — Lizette Salas shot an 8-under 64 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Sung Hyun Park and Amy Yang after the third round of the Indy Women in Tech Championsh­ip. Salas was at 21-under 195 at Brickyard Crossing. The 29-year-old former Southern California player hasn’t won on the LPGA Tour since 2014. She took the lead with a birdie on No. 16 after Park hit her approach into the water en route to a double bogey.

ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Michael Bradley shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the PGA Tour Champions’ Dick’s Sporting Goods Open to reach 11-under 133 at En-Joie Golf Club.
