The BMW Championship encountered a lightning delay on Thursday afternoon in Owings Mills, Md.

Play was halted at Caves Valley Golf Club near Baltimore at 2:35 p.m. ET due to lightning in the area. It did not resume until 4:48 p.m., a two-hour, 13-minute stoppage for the 49-man tournament.

The BMW Championship is the second of three legs of the FedEx Cup playoffs. The top 30 in the season-long standings after this tournament will advance to next week’s Tour Championship in Atlanta.
