IT'S been four years since Sergio Garcia's last PGA Tour victory. He'll have to wait one more day before he can try to finish this one off.
And a downpour at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina meant another day of uncertainty for others on the playoff bubble. Garcia had the lead at 15 under through four holes on Sunday when the final round in the Tour's last event before the FedEx Cup playoffs was suspended for the day because of heavy rain.
Tim Clark, Jason Dufner and Bud Cauley were at 14 under through varying stages of their rounds, and 38 players - half the field - were still on the course when play was stopped.
After waiting roughly 2 hours, 20 minutes, officials decided to bring them back the next day to crown a champion and figure out who qualifies for the playoffs and who doesn't.
It will be the first Monday finish in Greensboro since 1983.
Tour officials said more than 2 inches of rain fell on the course since Saturday night and Mark Russell, the Tour's vice president of rules and competition, said the 15th hole became "unplayable."
