Arizona Tribune - Young leads at weather-hit PGA Wyndham Championship

Young had seven birdies without a bogey through 15 holes and was 14-under for the tournament, one stroke in front of defending champion Aaron Rai of England, who was 13-under with five holes to play.

Rai, who had to play a marathon Sunday on the way to victory last year after delays earlier in the week, said he hoped the tournament would get back on schedule quickly when play resumes on Saturday.

Thunderstorms had halted play for a second time on Friday afternoon when organizers opted to halt it for the day.

"Sometimes it's a nice way just to reset and refresh and go into tomorrow with a new mindset," Rai said. "And obviously there's a positive of just keeping the momentum going if the delay doesn't happen, but you've got to make the best of whatever situation comes your way, really."

Mac Meissner and South Korean Im Sung-jae were the leaders in the clubhouse on 12-under 128.

Meissner had eight birdies in his seven-under 63 and Im had an eagle and four birdies in his six-under 64.

The tournament is the last regular-season event before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin with the St. Jude Championship next week.

The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the playoffs.
