Max McGreevy holds a one stroke lead at the Barbasol Championship after playing just three holes of the third round following extensive rain delays in Kentucky.
The second round of the tournament was completed on Saturday morning as Friday's afternoon tee times were delayed by five and a half hours due to fog and lightning. The third round was suspended on Saturday afternoon for four and a half hours due to more than two and a half inches of rain in Nicholasville.
Matti Schmid, the 2021 DP World Tour Rookie of the Year, shared the lead on 16 under par with McGreevy at the conclusion of the second round after they both carded nine under par rounds of 63.
Both Schmid and McGreevy birdied the first hole of their third rounds after teeing off at 8:00pm, but the German dropped a shot on the second hole and now shares second place with Canada’s Adam Svensson.
One stroke further back is 2015 Challenge Tour Number One Ricardo Gouveia on 15 under par, who has also played three holes of his third round.
In a share of fifth on 14 under are the American trio of Trey Mullinax, Sean O’Hair and Kevin Streelman.
The third round is scheduled to resume at 7:45am on Sunday after play was suspended at 9:02pm on Saturday evening.
The winner of the Barbasol Championship will receive exemptions on both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR, as well as the final spot at The 150th Open at St Andrews next week through The Open Qualifying Series.
