RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) — Chad Collins birdied the par-5 fifth hole for a share of the Puerto Rico Open lead with Kevin Streelman just before third-round play was suspended because of darkness Saturday in the rain-delayed PGA Tour event.
Collins and Streelman, who birdied the par-4 seventh hole as darkness descended over Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico, were 12 under.
Derek Lamely, 7 under for 13 holes in the round, was a stroke back at 11 under with Steve Wheatcroft and Kris Blanks. Wheatcroft played six holes in the third round, and Blanks completed seven.
The tropical course began to dry out under a day of Caribbean sunshine. But because of previous days’ soggy conditions, players were allowed to use preferred lies in the fairways.
