The start of Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship has been delayed due to inclement weather in the Charlotte area.

The round, which was slated to begin at 8:15 a.m. ET, was suspended because of lightning. It now is scheduled to begin at 11:43 a.m. at Quail Hollow Club.

Second-round leader Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela will tee off on hole No. 1 with Matthieu Pavon of France and Matt Fitzpatrick of England at 1:55 p.m. ET. Vegas recorded an 8-under-par 134 over the first two rounds to hold a two-stroke lead over Pavon, Fitzpatrick and South Korea's Si Woo Kim.

Masters champion Rory McIlroy will start on No. 10 with defending PGA Championship winner Xander Schauffele and Chris Kirk at 1:38 p.m. ET. All three enter the round at 1-over-par 143 -- nine shots behind the leader.
