UPDATE, 5:15 PM PT

Play has been officially suspended until Sunday. The field will pick up at 7:30 a.m ET tomorrow. From that, you can estimate that Nick will tee off around 7:40 a.m. ET (4:40 a.m. PT). I'm guessing a lot of father's will be planted in their couches all day for the U.S. Open on Sunday as they try to get in the final two rounds!

UPDATE, 4:05 PM PT:

A serious downpour has invaded Farmingdale, N.Y., again and play has been halted. It was less than 10 minutes before Nick's scheduled tee time. Watching on NBC you can see it is already getting dark due to the thick clouds blocking out the sun, so it may be a stretch to think Nick will be able to get out on the course today. He and the rest of those near the top of the leaderboard may have a slight advantage if the field can't get back on the course. Unlike those who have already started their third round, those who haven't teed off get a fresh start. Nothing is certain yet, but we'll post something here as soon as we know the status of play.

2:00 PM PT:

Nick Taylor is tied for seventh after two rounds and obviously comfortably made the cut of the 2009 U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.

The third round will start tonight at 5:30 ET, with Taylor teeing off at 6:58 ET. He will be paired with Sean O'Hair.

It is raining on Long Island right now, but the players should play through the weather and be able to play until about 8:30 ET.
