Arnold Palmer Invitational weather: Round 3 suspended due to darkness

Golf is Hard at Bay Hill
Written by Staff
The third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard was delayed for one hour and seven minutes due to heavy rains in Orlando, Florida.
A small but heavy cell of rain entered the area over Bay Hill Club & Lodge, dumping water over the course and turning the greens unplayable due to moisture. Nearly a quarter of an inch of rain hit Bay Hill's back nine in about a 15-minute period.
Players were initially told to remain in place, but were later instructed to return to the clubhouse while the grounds crew works to remove moisture from the playing surfaces.
Round 3 was initially suspended Saturday at 2:53 p.m. ET and resumed at 4 p.m. It was suspended again due to darkness at 6:30 p.m. and will resume at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Final-round tee times will run from 9:30 a.m.-1:50 p.m.
