Austin Eckroat emerged as the leader at the PGA National event, holding a one-shot lead over Erik van Rooyen before play was suspended due to thunderstorms on Sunday. The final round of the tournament was interrupted by nearly 2 inches of rain, causing a 3 1/2-hour delay and necessitating a Monday finish.
Van Rooyen made a remarkable surge up the leaderboard with six consecutive birdies to card an 8-under 63, finishing at 14-under 270. Jake Knapp, the previous week's winner in Mexico, was 5 under through 15 holes, placing him at 13 under and in third place.
