March 24, 2008 5:17 a.m. EST Bill Lumpkin - AHN Editor Doral, FL (AHN) -- A three-hour weather delay pushed the final round of the CA Championship to Monday and unless Tiger Woods pulls off another one of his improbable comebacks his winning streak will end here. Geoff Ogilvy stands at 17-under through nine holes with a two-shot lead over Jim Furyk and Vijay Singh. Furyk is 15-under through 10 while Singh also is 15-under through nine. Retief Goosen and Graeme Storm are three shots back and Steve Stricker already is in the clubhouse with a final-round 63 to finish at 13-under -- four shots back an tied with Adam Scott. Then, there's Woods, who is five shots back with seven holes remaining. In World Golf Championship events, he has 15 wins in 26 previous WGCs entering this week. Plus, he hasn't lost to anyone in six months. Yet, here he is tied for ninth heading into Monday's play. Said Ogilvy, "In his own mind, he probably still thinks he has a chance and I'm sure we've seen him to do crazy things before. But Jim and Vijay have won a fair few tournaments and Adam's won a fair few tournaments. He doesn't have to only catch me." Play is scheduled to resume Monday at 8:30 a.m. Woods' chance at victory probably got stuck in the Doral mud in the third round while the other contenders were shooting birdies. Singh and Storm had 63s while Goosen and Furyk had 64s in the third round. Woods shot a 72. Saturday's third-round was suspended after three inches or rain fell in a three-hour stretch in the afternoon while Sunday's final round didn't begin until shortly before noon. It was suspended for three hours for lightning threats, leaving only about two hours of daylight remaining. Singh said, "Still a lot of golf to go." In all, 53 of the 77 golfers will finish on Monday. Said Woods, "It can be had."
