Just when it looked like the Zurich Classic of New Orleans was going to get back on schedule, more rain came.
6 of the last 7 rounds contested at the #ZurichClassic have been suspended at some point due to weather.

While the third round hardly got a chance to begin, the second round spill over was finished early Saturday morning allowing first-round leader Brian Stuard to reclaim his position atop the leaderboard. Stuard shot a 4-under par 68 to extend his total to 12-under for the tournament.
Saturday overnight leaders Jhonattan Vegas and Jamie Lovemark sit one shot back, three shots ahead of their nearest competitor. The third round is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. CT on Sunday, but with 34 players not beginning their third and more rain forecast, a Monday finish is all but guaranteed.
