Bean still in front at suspended Schwab Cup Championship

Golf Betting Lines

11/01/2008 - Sonoma, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andy Bean remained atop the leaderboard as the third round of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship was suspended due to inclement weather on Saturday.

Bean completed only four holes but was even over that span. He is at 10-under par for the championship and is two shots clear of John Cook, who is two-under on his round through six holes.

Rain poured on Sonoma Golf Club all day Saturday, and eventually play was stopped at 1:16 p.m. (et). After about four hours, the decision was made to call play for the day with no one completing more than 10 holes of the third round.

The golfers will return at 10:15 a.m. Sunday to finish the third round, but that is only if the weather allows. More rain is forecast for the morning, but the tentative plan is to finish Sunday morning, then re-pair and start the final round at 1:50 p.m.

"As long as the rain lightens up tonight so the golf course can dry out and become playable, we've got a great shot of playing 72 holes," said Brian Claar of the Champions Tour. "I think it's crucial for this great championship."

This is the season-ending event for the Champions Tour and much is at stake.

Jay Haas leads Fred Funk by only 12 points in the year-long Charles Schwab Cup points race and the winner walks off with a $1 million annuity. Bernhard Langer, Eduardo Romero and Cook all can win as well, and the chance of someone catching Haas became more realistic on Saturday.

Haas played worse than almost anyone in the brief time out on Saturday. He is four-over on the round and has yet to make the turn. Haas is two-under for the championship and is in real danger of losing out to Cook if Cook can hoist the trophy.

Cook mixed birdies at two, four and five around a bogey at the third. He is at eight-under and two behind Bean, who was unflappable on Saturday with four consecutive pars.

Nick Price began the third round one off Bean's lead but tallied two bogeys in four holes. He is tied for third place at minus-seven with Gene Jones, Tom Jenkins and Scott Hoch.

Loren Roberts is alone in seventh at six-under par, followed by Tom Kite and David Eger in eighth at minus-five.

Romero is tied for 20th at one-under par, while Langer and Funk are two of only three players in this 29-man field who are over par.
