Third-Round Play Suspended at NCAA Championship
May 30, 2008
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. --- Severe weather forced suspension of the third round Friday at the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship in West Lafayette, Ind. UC Irvine was still on the course when play was suspended for the day at 2:55 p.m. (PDT) when the teams had to seek shelter at Mackey Arena (Purdue's basketball facility). Fifteen teams in the 30-team field need to complete third-round play, which will resume Saturday at 4:00 a.m. (PDT). The top 15 teams following completion of the third round will compete in the fourth and final round beginning at 8:00 a.m. (PDT) on the Kampen Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex. The Anteaters, who entered Friday in 22nd place, have moved up to a tie with Middle Tennessee State for 17th place at 49-over par. UCI, which had started play on the back nine when play was suspended, is just four shots away from the current cut line of 45-over currently held by Texas A&M, which has completed its third round, and Auburn, which still has holes to play. UCLA finished its third round and is in first place at 24-over 888. USC and Clemson have completed the third round and share second place at 27-over 891.
