Nick Taylor's final round is underway as he leads the Canadian contingent at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. Following a lengthy weather delay midway through the round, the field has once again taken to the course with Taylor at 6-over in a tied for 13th.
After escaping the difficult front nine at 2-over on the day, Taylor carded a birdie on the turn shortly before the horn blew to signal a weather delay had been put into effect.
The pride of Abottsford, B.C. would resume his round with a bogey on the par-4 14th, and is now just outside the top 10 with four holes remaining in his final round.
Taylor is currently set for his best result at a major championship at T13, with his career-high finish being a T29 at the 2020 Masters.
Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., carded a 1-under-par 69 on Sunday to post his best round of the week and finished at 11-over for the tournament.
Pendrith struggled to begin his day, playing the front nine at 3-over, but was able to bounce back and with four birdies on the way in to finish on a positive note.
Mackenzie Hughes of Hamilton, Ont., wrapped up his week with a 5-over-par 75 and came in at 14-over for the tournament.
Hughes was hamstrung on Sunday by a pair of double bogeys coming on the first and ninth before playing the back at even-par.
Corey Conners withdrew from the tournament shortly before he was scheduled to tee off for his final round on Sunday. The Listowel, Ont., native entered the final round at 8-over-par for the tournament and tied for 39th.
Leader: Sam Burns (E)
