The final round of the BMW Championship was delayed and eventually suspended due to poor weather conditions. Leader Jim Furyk was forced to sleep on his one-stroke edge for another night with a talented group of golfers within striking distance.

Snedeker is a streaky player and was in the midst of a cold spell entering the BMW Championship. He hadn't finished inside the top 30 in any of his last five starts, a stretch that included a pair of missed cuts. But he's bounced back in a maj...
