AVONDALE, Louisiana -- Torrential rains once again wreaked havoc at TPC
Louisiana, causing US PGA TOUR officials to suspend third-round play
Sunday and shorten the waterlogged Zurich Classic of New Orleans to 54
holes.
Play will resume play Monday at 7 a.m. local time, weather permitting.
Co-leaders Brian Stuard and Jhonattan Vegas share the lead at 13 under through 41 holes after managing to play five holes before play was suspended at 10:08 a.m.
Stuard is seeking his first win on the US PGA TOUR, Vegas his second.
"(Winning) would mean a lot,'' said Stuard, who has scrambled his way into contention with a perfect 17 of 17 up and downs from around the greens. "It would be a dream come true.''

Vegas is trying to add to his pair of top-10 finishes on TOUR this season.
"Your mindset changes a lot,'' said Vegas when asked about the tournament being shortened from 72 holes to 54. "You have less holes to play and being near the lead you have to make sure that you stay aggressive and start making some birdies because anything could happen.''
