DANGEROUS WEATHER NEAR Quail Hollow delayed the start of Saturday’s third round of the PGA Championship just as Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele were preparing to begin play.
Americans Sam Burns and Max Greyserman were about to tee off at the first hole at 8:15 a.m. (1215 GMT) when the horn sounded to signal everyone should seek shelter.

World number two McIlroy, who won the Masters last month to complete a career Grand Slam, and third-ranked Schauffele, the defending champion and reigning British Open champion, were set to start at 8:25 and were on their way to the first tee from the practice area when the horn blew.
The tournament have reacted by changing the schedule, with players now put into groups of three and playing off split tees. McIlroy and Schauffele will now be joined by Chris Kirk, and will begin off the 10th tee at 6.38pm Irish time.
Tom McKibbin will play alongside Matt Wallace and Rafael Campos at 4.48pm Irish time.
Leader Johanattan Vegas is alongside Mathieu Pavon and Matt Fitzpatrick at 6.55pm Irish time, with Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, and Si Woo Kim in the group immediately before that.
McIlroy, who has won four times at Quail Hollow, scrambled on Friday just to make the cut on the number at one-over par 143 and stood nine strokes adrift of leader Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela.
Vegas was on eight-under 134 and set to tee off in the final pairing with France’s Matthieu Pavon, who shares second on 136 with South Korean Kim Si-woo and England’s Matthew Fitzpatrick.
