Tiger Woods’ pursuit of an eighth victory at Bay Hill and the world No. 1 ranking will have to wait until Monday after a thunder storm led to the supsension of Sunday’s final round.<\/p>\n
Spectators were evacuated from the Bay Hill course as rain driven by high winds and lightning swept into the area, where a tornado warning was issued.<\/p>\n
Woods had just stretched his lead to three shots with a birdie on the par-three second hole.<\/p>\n
The driving rain led to some washed-out bunkers and standing water on the course, with the repairs needed eventually prompting officials to call off play for the day.<\/p>\n
The round was to resume on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
If Woods can capture his eighth Arnold Palmer Invitational title he’ll supplant Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy atop the world rankings.<\/p>\n
The 14-time major champion has spent a record 623 weeks on top of the world.<\/p>\n
But he has not paced the rankings since October of 2010 after injuries and an infamous sex scandal saw him tumble from the top 50.<\/p>\n
