Jerry Kelly had a one-shot lead at the Heritage, when yesterday's final round was suspended until Monday due to strong winds that swept across Harbour Town.
Tournament officials announced that they expect final-round play to resume at 7.45am local time. The event's last Monday finish was in 2001, when Jose Coceres beat Billy Mayfair in a playoff.
Kelly has two PGA Tour titles but has not won since 2002, when he posted victories at the Sony and Western Opens.
Riding the momentum of last week's tie for fifth place at the Masters, Kelly shot a 4-under-par 67 on Saturday to move to 13-under 200. He had a hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth hole Saturday and parlayed it into a one-shot lead over Kevin Na and Ernie Els.
Kelly, Na and Els had just hit their second shots at the first hole when play was suspended. Boo Weekley parred the first hole and is in fourth at 11-under. Brandt Snedeker was two-under after four holes, recovering from a bogey at the first to make three consecutive birdies to move to eight-under for the tournament.
Els, who ranks fifth in the world, has not won on the PGA Tour in almost three years. Masters champion Zach Johnson, who is trying to secure consecutive victories, was even through one and nine-under for the tournament.
