The Latest: Day moves into lead at PGA Championship
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (AP) The Latest on the PGA Championship (all times local):
9:30 a.m.
Jason Day, looking to join Tiger Woods as the only players to defend their PGA Championship title, moved into the lead after nine holes of the third round at Baltusrol Golf Club.
Day birdied Nos. 6 and 9 in a 2-under 34 on the front nine that put him at 9 under, two strokes ahead of second-round co-leaders Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb, British Open champion Henrik Stenson, Emiliano Grillo and William McGirt. Day won last year at Whistling Straits.
With heavy rain having forced the suspension of play in the third round Saturday, the last five pairings will be looking at playing 36 holes Sunday to complete the tournament on time.

The third and fourth rounds of the PGA Championship were going on simultaneously at Baltusrol Golf Club.
Heavy rains forced the third round to be suspended Saturday with 10 golfers not ever having started their rounds.
Play resumed for 47 golfers at 7 a.m. Sunday. Play in the fourth round began at 8:40 a.m. - when second-round co-leaders Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb were playing their sixth hole of the third round. Walker and Streb were scheduled to begin their final rounds at 3:16 p.m.
Officials were hopeful that with no further weather delays, the tournament could be completed on time.

The fourth round of the PGA Championship will be played with the lift, clean and place rule in effect.
Following heavy rains Saturday afternoon that suspended the round with 10 players not even teeing off, another .6 inches of rain fell at the Baltusrol Golf Club overnight. The forecast is calling for more rain Sunday, forcing the PGA of America to use the preferred lies in an effort to complete the tournament on time.
The players, when their ball lies on a closely mown area ''through the green,'' may mark the ball, clean it and replace it within one club length no nearer the hole or in a hazard.
It is extremely rare for this rule to be enacted in a major championship.

7:50 a.m.
About 17 hours after they were scheduled to tee off, co-leaders Jimmy Walker and Robert Streb started their third round of the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club.
After heavy rain suspended play for the day on Saturday, 10 players returned Sunday morning to start their rounds while 37 others finished theirs, including Marc Leishman who came back for a 12-foot birdie putt on No. 18 only to leave it short for a par that gave him a 3-under 67.
Walker and Streb started the third round at 9 under par, two strokes ahead of defending champion Jason Day and Emiliano Grillo.
The PGA of America was hoping to complete the tournament Sunday but the local weather forecast called for a better than 50 percent chance of rain during the day.
The last time the PGA was held at Baltusrol, it had a rain delayed Monday finish with Phil Mickelson winning the title.
