NCAA Men's Golf Championships 2015: Results, Leaderboard Standings from Sunday
The specter of the cut line will carry over to Monday after Sunday's Round 3 play at the 2015 men's national golf championship was suspended for lightning at 6:28 p.m. ET. According to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner, the round will resume at 7 a.m. ET Monday.
Some teams will only be able to wait and see if their three-round score is enough to finish in the top 15. Following the third round, the 30-team field for the championship will be trimmed in half.
One team that won't have to sweat whether it could be culled is Georgia. The Bulldogs currently lead at one over for the tournament, three shots ahead of the USC Trojans. You can view the men's golf championship leaderboard below, courtesy of NCAA.com:

Mookie DeMoss led the way for the Bulldogs Sunday. Through 16 holes, the senior is three under and tied for seventh in the individual portion of the event.
Zach Healy continues to have the best total score of any Georgia golfer at the Concession Golf Club. The freshman is at four under for the tournament and two under through 14 holes in the third round. He's three shots back of Bryson Dechambeau, who has the lowest individual score.
The SMU Mustangs star concluded his Sunday with an even-par 72 but still maintains a one-shot lead over UAB's Paul Dunne. Golf writer Shane Ryan argues that even if Dechambeau doesn't wind up bringing a national title home to Dallas, then he'll at least walk home with one of the best handles in the field:
"No name in the college golf championships was going to top 'Maverick McNealy,' but presumptive champ 'Bryson Dechambeau' comes real close.

Shifting back to the team tournament, the UCLA Bruins were one of Sunday's biggest risers. They combined to shoot eight under for the round, which put them at 14 over for the tournament. As a result of its great day, UCLA rose 11 spots into a tie for eighth, well inside the safety zone.
Jonathan Garrick and Preston Valder were the Bruins' top performers. Each shot a four-under 68 on Sunday to anchor their team. Valder's round was particularly notable for the hole-in-one he carded on No. 14. UCLA head coach Derek Freeman snapped a photo of the senior after he picked the ball out of the cup:
"I told them that you never know what’s going to happen out there," said Freeman, per NCAA.com's Wayne Cavadi. "People are going to feel the heat, teams are going to feel the heat, so it’s very important for us to establish where we are going to be. And if we do that, then we are going to have a good chance."
Three schools whose fates ran in stark contrast to UCLA's were Oklahoma State, Charlotte and Oregon.
The Cowboys and 49ers each stand at 16 over for the third round, while the Ducks are one shot worse at 17 over.
All three still have time to turn things around, and maybe going into the clubhouse to wind down is the best thing for them.
Between the continuation of the third round and then the beginning of the fourth round, Monday is bound to be a major grind for those teams that make the cut. They'll be squeezing a lot of golf into a short amount of time, and that might help to truly separate the very good teams from the great teams.
