Zurich Classic 2016: Saturday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

The weather continued to slow play down to a screeching halt at the Zurich Classic from TPC Louisiana in New Orleans.    

For the third straight day, bad weather suspended proceedings, as more than half of the field still has not even begun the third round of play. 

The PGA Tour took a look at the unfit conditions:

Here is the updated leaderboard after play was suspended:

The early portion of Saturday saw more than 70 golfers finish up their second rounds, as Jamie Lovemark and Jhonattan Vegas were tied for the lead at 11 under after Friday's suspension. 

But Thursday's leader, Brian Stuard, was just one stroke off the leaders with six holes to play before he was forced to stop. 

On Saturday morning, Stuard finished up his round strong with a pair of birdies on No. 7 and No. 8 to take a one-stroke lead heading into the third round. 

Lovemark and Vegas were among the countless golfers who did not start their third round Saturday. 

World No. 1 Jason Day, who went four under in Round 2 to move into a tie for 10th at seven under overall, was just minutes away from starting his third round before the call came in. 

He spoke with the PGA Tour on how he was handling the long delay:

Rickie Fowler did manage to get his third round underway, but he got the bad news that he had to stop playing while appreciating this drive on just his second hole, via the PGA Tour:

Fowler had birdied his first hole on No. 10 and sits in a tie for 44th at four under overall for the tournament. 

Not one golfer played more than five holes on the day as the PGA Tour just kept waiting:

Players who have already started their rounds will pick things back up Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. ET. 

The problem is that the weather might not cooperate once again. Per Weather.com, there is an 80 percent chance of rain with scattered thunderstorms in the forecast.
