MADISON, Miss. - Scott Stallings trudged back to the clubhouse after making par on the 10th hole, his third round suspended because of the darkness that enveloped Annandale Golf Club.
It almost felt as if the course was trying to hide from him.
Stallings shot a blazing 6 under through the first 10 holes of the third round Saturday at the True South Classic and will have a four-stroke lead when play resumes today.
It's a terrific opportunity for the 27-year-old, who has struggled for much of the season because of rib and back injuries.
"We've got a lot of golf (remaining)," Stallings said.
"I'm just happy to be playing. All the birdies and stuff are great, but at the end of the day, just to be out here and be competitive - that's all I'm really focused on."

American Century Championship
STATELINE, Nev. - Former NFL quarterback Mark Rypien had two birdies and an eagle over the last four holes Saturday to take the lead after the second round of the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe.
Dan Quinn was in second, followed by first-round co-leader Mark Mulder.
Rypien scored 27 points in his round, shooting the equivalent of a 1-under-par 71, and had a 36-hole total of 43 points in the modified Stableford scoring system. Rypien hasn't finished higher than third since winning the inaugural event in 1990.
