Bad weather holds up the third round of the US PGA Championship, with the top 10 players who made the cut finding themselves unable to start play.

The third round of the US PGA Championship has been suspended on Saturday evening because of the threat of lightning.

Of the 86 players to make the cut at Baltusrol, just the top 10 were unable to start their rounds before play was halted at 7.15pm BST.

As it stands, joint leaders Robert Streb and Jimmy Walker are nine-under, two clear of Australia's world number one Jason Day and Argentina's Emiliano Grillo.

Kevin Kisner is the clubhouse leader on five-under after a five-under 65.
