Rory McIlroy leads at The Players Championship as inclement weather suspends play
Rory McIlroy remained on top of the leaderboard Sunday afternoon after The Players Championship was delayed due to weather.
The final round of The Players Championship was delayed due to weather and lightning on Sunday afternoon, as Rory McIlroy held the sole lead by a narrow margin more than halfway through his round.Â
The delay followed Saturdayâs announcement that tee times would be moved up to avoid extending the final round into Monday.Â
"Weâve been reviewing this weather for three or four days and, unfortunately, itâs held its pattern, and it looks like this line of storms are going to be quite intense," , Stephen Cox, vice president of rules and tournament administration, said, via the PGA Tourâs website.

"Obviously, our preferred desire is to have one tee in two(somes) and this is the awkward balance that we face," he continued. "If we do roll the dice, as they say, and try and play off one tee in two(somes) we could easily find ourselves in a Monday finish."
Players on Sunday played in groups of three to try and avoid delaying the final round further, but lightning and rain in the area began rolling in at TPC Sawgrass around 1 p.m. local time.Â
