Co-leaders Brian Stuard and Jhonattan Vegas were five holes into their third round when play was suspended after steady rainfall continued to saturate the TPC Louisiana layout.

American Stuard and Venezuelan Vegas were tied at 13-under-par, one shot better than American Bobby Wyatt who picked up six strokes on the front nine.

American Jamie Lovemark was next at 11 under after going even par through five holes.

Australian Day picked up three strokes in eight holes to be among a group at 10-under.

"We always say golf is a marathon, not a sprint, this is kind of a sprint now," Day said.

Co-leader Vegas, meanwhile, had a concern about Monday, but it was nothing to do with his game.

"The only concern I have right now is that I have some white pants for tomorrow and those might not look good at the end of the day," he joked of the expected muddy conditions.
