Separating Contenders from Pretenders to Win Rain-Delayed 2016 PGA Championship

A Saturday morning that dawned at Baltusrol looking like it’d feature the narrative of Jimmy Walker pursuing his first major victory with Henrik Stenson and Jason Day at his heels, turned instead into something resembling White Squall.

Play was suspended for the day at just after 2 p.m. ET, and it never got started again. Six twosomes never got on the course. Those groups, of course, featured the 12 lowest-scoring golfers entering the third round. 

Only one golfer, Kevin Kisner, started from outside the top 10 and made his way into elite company thanks to his Saturday efforts. Padraig Harrington also fired a five-under 65 Saturday to move into a tie for 10th. 

It's difficult to make any firm predictions about the forecast, which looks an awful lot like stop-start delay inducing periods of rain. And the pessimists of the golf Twitterverse are already suggesting a Monday finish could be in store. 

There shouldn't be any "luck of the draw" to the degree that there was at The Open, but the final groups will tee off after the golfers at four and five under. So even playing in threesomes (as they surely will), the leaders will be last on the course. 

But rather than make an amateur attempt at meteorology, we'll assume the golfers on this list will be teeing it up in similar conditions...be it on Sunday or Monday.
