Valero Texas Open third-round play suspended until Sunday after weather delays. Robert MacIntyre saw his four-shot advantage cut to two against playing partner Ludvig Aberg through just six holes. The tournament halted at 4:55pm local time following a six-hour delay, creating uncertainty for the final round.

MacIntyre maintained strong form at 15 under par, birdieing the par-four fifth. Ryder Cup teammate Aberg made early gains with birdies on holes one and two, keeping pressure on the leader. England's Matt Wallace moved into third place at seven under after two eagles, while Japan's Ryo Hisatsune sits just two shots back.

Marco Penge impressed with six consecutive birdies to climb into fifth place, adding intrigue to the leaderboard. MacIntyre, who opened with rounds of 66 and 64, still holds a commanding position despite the reduced lead. The weather disruption adds drama to the tournament's conclusion.
