Valero Texas Open: Tournament suspended until Sunday due to weather as Scot Robert MacIntyre's lead shrinks

The third round of the Valero Texas Open has been suspended until Sunday because of bad weather as Scot Robert MacIntyre's had seen his lead reduced from four shots to two by playing partner Ludvig Aberg through six holes.

The delay extended to six hours and the decision was eventually made to suspend play at 4.55pm local time.

MacIntyre went into Saturday with a commanding lead after following up an opening 66 with a 64.

A steady start to his third round saw him pick up a birdie on the par-four fifth to reach 15 under par, while Ryder Cup team-mate Aberg birdied the first two holes as well as matching MacIntyre at the fifth.

Two eagles helped Matt Wallace climb into a share for third, with the Englishman on seven under through 14 and sitting a further two shots back.

Japan's Ryo Hisatsune is also on 11 under while England's Marco Penge birdied six straight holes to move into a share of fifth place a shot further adrift.
