PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Play was suspended again because of heavy rain at the Players Championship on Friday and won't resume until at least 11 a.m. ET on Saturday, the PGA Tour announced.

The first round was delayed for more than four hours on Thursday, and the last group of players to tee off in the afternoon wave had completed only 11 or 12 of their first 18 holes when play was halted again after four hours of play on Friday. Only 24 of the late starters were able to complete the first round, while 48 still had holes remaining.
