    After a soggy start with thunderstorms soaking Quail Hollow this morning, the greens are more spongey than speedway at the moment.

    The SubAir systems are working overtime but someone may need to pop another 50 cent in the meter to help dry them out completely.

    Winds are set to whip up this afternoon, so expect a wild ride as the course fights to firm up on moving day.

    Well, just as Rory McIlroy was heading out this morning the hooter sounded with a storm in the area delaying the start of the third round.

    Now, to fit all the play in today, instead of tradition two-balls all starting from the first tee, we have a two-tee start and they'll play in threes.

    It means more players out on the course and more action to keep you informed on, so it should be a fast and furious Saturday in North Carolina.

    Thanks for joining us golf fans. It's been a wet start at Quail Hollow but it's sure to heat up later on - as it's moving day at the US PGA Championship!

    Can Rory McIlroy make a big move? Can Jhonattan Vegas maintain his surprise lead, or could Matt Fitzpatrick be the one to reel him in?

    Scottie Scheffler isn't too far behind either as he starts alongside a resurgent Max Homa.

    So we've got plenty of storylines to watch out for in what is a shorter but more packed day of major championship golf for you - and if you're lucky we'll see a few more mud balls!
