• The fourth round will resume at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday. Fifth-round starting times will take place from approximately 11:00 a.m. until 1:10 p.m.

Fifth-Round Pairing notes:
• After the fourth round is completed, players will be regrouped according to 72-hole scores. The field will be split into approximate equal portions.

• Competitors with the lowest scores will play the Links Course, players with the highest scores will play the Lakes Course.

Final-Round Pairing notes:
* After the fifth round, players will switch courses, stay in the same groups, start on the same tee and the groups will be in the same order as in the fifth round.

• At the time of the suspension, Troy Merritt (through nine holes) and Jay Williamson (through eight holes), both playing on the Lakes Course, held a share of the lead at 15-under. Brenden Pappas (through 10 holes) and Andrew McLardy (through nine holes) were one shot back.

• Only two players completed their fourth round on Saturday: Matt Jones (67/T9), Hunter Haas (68/T64), Bobby MacWhinnie (70/T102), Kevin Fortin-Simard (73/166) and Chris Mundorf (76/T141).

• Withdrawals this week: John Riegger (after 2nd round), Carlos Franco (after 3rd round), Robert Smock (during third round) and Robert Damron (during fourth round).

David Duval stood at 7-over through 17 holes at the time of the suspension and 4-over for the tournament. Making his first Final Stage appearance since 1993, Duval is currently T111.

• Final Stage saw 170 players tee it up after over 1300 applications were taken for the TOUR Qualifying Tournament, which included five pre-qualifying sites, 13 first-stage sites and six second-stage sites. Here's a breakdown of the numbers:

• 436 players participated at five pre-qualifying sites (224 successful)
• 908 players participated at 13 first-stage sites (305 successful)
• 469 players participated at six second-stage sites (132 successful)
• 170 players playing in Final Stage (including 34 exempt players and four Nationwide Tour Top 25)

By the numbers ... The top 25 players and ties at the conclusion of the tournament will receive 2010 PGA TOUR cards, while the next number of players nearest 50 will receive full status on the Nationwide Tour. All remaining players will have conditional status on the Nationwide Tour in 2010.
