Poston and Gerard are at 9-under-par through five holes of the third round, which was suspended. setting up a long day of play Sunday at Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Poston was the second-round leader and played Saturday's five holes at even-par. Gerard made up one stroke.

Play is scheduled to resume at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. The fourth round will begin in late morning with players going off the first and 10th tees.

World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who's at 1 under for the tournament, made a move on the front side Saturday with a three-hole stretch played at 4 under, capped by an eagle on the par-5 seventh hole. But he posted bogeys on Nos. 12 and 14, which was his final hole before the suspension.

There was a weather-related delay because of thunderstorms for more than one hour beginning late in the morning. It pushed some tee times back 1 hour, 40 minutes. Another suspension of play came at 4:34 p.m. and then it was determined the rest of the tournament would be pushed to Sunday.
