Rain disrupted the Senior PGA Championship for the fifth consecutive year since its relocation from Florida, resulting in a scramble atop the leaderboard and to finish the event today.

With Dana Quigley, Mike Reid and second-round leader Jerry Pate tied for the lead at 5 under about midway through the third round, play was halted in Lignoier, Pa., for the second and final time due to hard rain.

Thirty-three golfers will finish their rounds this morning.
