JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) – Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith are getting an unscheduled day off after moving into a first-place tie through three rounds of the PGA’s Northern Trust in New Jersey. Smith fired a course-record 11-under 60 to pull even with Rahm at minus-11. Smith had a chance for the 13th sub-60 score on the PGA Tour before he missed a 12-foot birdie putt on 18 at Liberty National. Rahm twice hit into the water on the second- and third-easiest holes, dropped a combined three shots and had to rally for a 67. Rahm and Smith were one shot ahead of Erik van Rooyen of South Africa, who made 10 birdies for a 62. The final round has been moved to Monday due to the threat of Hurricane Henri in the forecast for northern New Jersey.
