Hiroyuki Fujita leads by three as US Senior Open suspended until Monday

NEWPORT, R.I. Hiroyuki Fujita held a three-shot lead with eight holes to play in the final round of the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday when the tournament was postponed due to poor weather conditions at Newport Country Club.

Fujita was 2-under for the day on the 7,024-yard, par-70 course at the mouth of Narragansett Bay when the siren sounded at 3 p.m. ET due to thunderstorms. The USGA announced at 4:55 p.m. that the tournament would resume Monday (Golf Channel coverage begins at 8 a.m. ET).

Richard Bland birdied the first three holes to move into second place. The Senior PGA champion was 13-under par with eight holes remaining. Richard Green was 1-under par for the day and 12-under par for the tournament. Steve Stricker, a runner-up at the U.S. Senior Open the past two years, was 2-under par for the fourth round and six shots back of the leader.

Vijay Singh was 4 under par after 15 holes and tied for fifth, nine shots behind Fujita; he had three holes to play when the rain came. Ernie Els was 5 under par after 15 holes and tied for eighth.

Tournament organizers tried to accommodate the golf in a climate of morning fog, which enveloped the towers of the nearby Newport Bridge and blocked views of the greens from the tees, and bad weather forecast for the afternoon. The leaders started two hours late, at 12:20 p.m., and were heading to the 11th tee when the first wave of thunderstorms rolled in at 3 p.m.

At that point, Fujita had pulled away from Stricker and Green, his playing partners. Bland, who had started the day five shots behind at 9 under par, was 4-under for the day and in second place at the turn.

A two-time Japan Golf Tour MVP, Fujita has never won on American soil and has never shot below 70 in his rounds on the PGA Tour Champions. His best finish in a major was a tie for 41st at the 2005 St. Andrews Open.

But he led from start to finish, thanks to a first-round 63 and a near-flawless performance off the tee, hitting 49 of the tournament's 50 fairways, including his last 38 in a row.

He birdied the second hole, but then made his second bogey of the tournament on the third hole after attempting a 3-foot par. He birdied the ninth hole to move back to 16 under par.
