Ernie Els faces an agonising wait to return to the course as thunderstorms suspended play on the final day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Florida. Play will resume on Monday morning.

Els is on 11-under, two shots clear of nearest rival Kevin Na with four holes left to play, but the South African let his lead slip, dropping three shots in two holes after Na put the pressure on with two birdies in successive holes at the 11th and 12th.

Retief Goosen is one shot further back on eight-under with one hole left to play. He shares third place with Chris Couch and Ben Curtis.

Brian Davis was the best of the Brits, and were it not for a double-bogey on the 18th, he would have been tied for 12th place on four-under par. His final round of 70 rounded off a solid performance in Bay Hill as he managed to get back to the club house before the rain set in.

Europe's Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie had a day to forget, failing to hit a single birdie as he went round in seven-over par, while Phil Mickelson faded in the late stages to card a 77.
