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.
