Leaders must wait as storms halt US PGA

Justin Rose and his fellow leading contenders at Oakland Hills will have to negotiate 36 holes on the final day to become the 90th US PGA champion, after play was abandoned tonight.

Championship officials suspended play for the day at 11.30pm Irish Time, more than four hours after the first of many thunderstorms in the Detroit area brought a halt with only 25 of the 73-man field having completed their third rounds.
