The PGA Tour Austin Championship was pushed back a day after heavy rain disrupted the final round schedule. Trace Crow of the United States holds a one-stroke lead, with a winner now set to be decided Tuesday morning Korean Standard Time.
The tournament, played at the Fazio Canyons Course at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas (par 72, 7,451 yards), was halted Sunday when heavy rain made the final round impossible. Play will resume early Tuesday.
Crow sits alone atop the leaderboard at 14 under par (202) through three rounds. After firing a 10-under 62 in the opening round, Crow carded a 69 in the second and a 71 in the third, chasing a first PGA Tour victory.
Chad Ramey of the United States, Sami Välimäki of Finland and Erik van Rooyen of South Africa are tied for second at 13 under (203). Max Greyserman and Ben Kohles, both of the United States, share fifth at 12 under (204). With only two strokes separating the leader from the fifth-place group, a tight finish is expected.
Blaze Brown, the 19-year-old American who won the previous event, the World Wide Technology Championship, sits tied for 15th at 10 under (206).
The final round is scheduled to begin with the first group teeing off at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday Korean Standard Time, with the lead group set to start at 2:31 a.m. The weather-forced delay is expected to add an extra variable, with players facing challenges in maintaining form and adjusting to course conditions.
