PGA Tour Makes Announcement on US Open Weather Delay During Final Round on Sunday

The U.S. Open has been dealing with rain throughout the tournament at Oakmont and now faces a potential lengthy weather delay during the final round on Sunday. Initially, golfers were playing through the rain before play was halted.

Prior to the delay, NBC indicated on the broadcast that play was likely to continue as "electricity" was not expected in the area. This was another way to say that the PGA Tour was optimistic since lightning was not expected at Oakmont.

This theory only lasted a few minutes before the PGA Tour halted the U.S. Open as a result of "dangerous weather." Here is what we know so far heading into the final few holes.

"Play was suspended at the U.S. Open at 4:01 p.m. ET due to dangerous weather," the PGA Tour revealed in a Sunday message on X.

The PGA Tour has yet to announce a potential return timeline for play to resume at the U.S. Open. Some fans may be confused to tune into NBC only to see Tiger Woods competing in the 2008 U.S. Open as the classic major is being shown during the delay.

Unfortunately this storm for the #USOpen just outside of Pittsburgh, PA is nearly stationary thanks to an outflow boundary.

While no formal announcement has been made about the timeline, there is some speculation that the top contenders could be headed for a lengthy delay.

"(US Open) could be facing a lengthy weather delay as thunderstorms approach Oakmont. PA," Fox 13's chief meteorologist Paul Dellegatto noted while posting a picture of the radar.

Fans are hoping to see Sam Burns, Adam Scott and the field of golfers finish the U.S. Open on Sunday. Back in March, The Players playoff was pushed into Monday.

The U.S. Open being completed on Sunday is dependent on the weather and daylight cooperating at Oakmont. NBC's Mike Tirico reported that the U.S. Open could withstand a two-hour weather delay and still finish the final round on Sunday.

Photos at Oakmont show water accumulating quickly on the greens. Prior to the delay, Burns and Scott were through seven holes. Burns sits in first at 2-under par with a one stroke lead on Scott.
