At the time of the suspension, Merritt had played nine holes and Williamson had played eight, both on the Lakes Course, and they shared the top spot at 15 under. Brenden Pappas (through 10 holes) and Andrew McLardy (through nine holes) were one shot back.
Only a few players completed their fourth round on Saturday: Matt Jones (67/tied for ninth), Hunter Haas (68/tied for 64th), Bobby MacWhinnie (70/ttied for 102nd), Kevin Fortin-Simard (73/166th) and Chris Mundorf (76/tied for 141st).
The fourth round will resume at 7:45 am local time on Sunday. Fifth-round starting times will take place from approximately 11:00 a.m. until 1:10 p.m.
After the fourth round is completed, players will be regrouped according to their 72-hole scores. The field will be split into approximate equal portions. Competitors with the lowest scores will play the Links Course, players with the highest scores will play the Lakes Course.
After the fifth round, players will switch courses, stay in the same groups, start on the same tee and the groups will be in the same order as in the fifth round.
David Duval stood at 7 over through 17 holes at the time of the suspension and 4 over for the tournament. Making his first final-stage appearance since 1993, Duval is currently tied for 11th.
The top 25 players and ties at the conclusion of the tournament will receive 2010 PGA Tour cards, while the next number of players nearest 50 will receive full status on the Nationwide Tour. All remaining players will have conditional status on the Nationwide Tour in 2010.
