The US PGA Tour's Cognizant Cup will conclude on Monday after thunderstorms halted play for three and a half hours on Sunday, officials said.

South African Erik van Rooyen had vaulted up the leaderboard when play was halted, opening with six straight birdies at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, then adding two more at the eighth and 10th to reach 14-under for the tournament.

Ireland's Shane Lowry, England's David Skinns and American Austin Eckroat shared the overnight lead on 13-under par and none had teed off when play was halted at 12:50 pm.

Organizers hoped to get players back on the course at 4:20, with Lowry and Skinns slated to tee off in the final group at 5:10.

That would allow them a little over an hour of daylight.

The last time the tournament was forced into a Monday finish was 2015.
