Austin Eckroat leads the Cognizant Classic heading into Monday's final round

Ausin Eckroat will sleep with a one-stroke lead at the Cognizant Classic after the final round was halted due to darkness following a three-and-a-half-hour weather delay Sunday in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

Eckroat, one of three 54-hole co-leaders, teed off after the delay ended at 4:20 local time. He went 2 under through the first seven holes at PGA National's Champion course to reach 15 under.

The final round will resume at 8 a.m. on Monday, according to the tour.

Erik van Rooyen of South Africa leads the clubhouse at 14-under 270, having shot an 8-under 63 in his final round.

Jake Knapp, a PGA Tour rookie who won the Mexico Open at Vidanta last week, is third. Knapp is 5 under through 15 holes.

Tour veterans Keith Mitchell (65), Billy Horschel (5 under through 17 holes), Alex Noren of Sweden (4 under through 12), and Irishman Shane Lowry (1 over through five) are all on 12 under.
