The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship has been suspended on Saturday as Storm Amy continues to cause havoc.
The tournament is an iconic one on the tour because it is held at St Andrews, which is the most famous course in Great Britain.
Round three was meant to get underway on Saturday but play was initially postponed before it was suspended and will now take place on Sunday.
Round two was also suspended on Friday, but they managed to finish it off on Saturday morning.
They then quickly moved onto the next round, but no player managed more than two holes before the decision was made to call it for the day.
In a statement, they said: “All golf played over the three courses on Saturday 4 October has been cancelled. The third round will be played on Sunday 5 October as a two-tee start over all three courses between 09:00-11:23.”
It’s not clear as of yet, but round two is likely to count, while any holes from round three will be replayed.
A couple of Ryder Cup heroes are involved, with Tyrrell Hatton and Robert MacIntyre taking part, and they’ve both being dealing with terrible weather.
Last week, the duo had to deal with a different type of conditions, being abused by the American crowd as Team Europe claimed the Ryder Cup.
And rather than taking the weekend off, the duo signed up for this tournament in Scotland, in October.
Still, they probably weren’t expecting to be playing in a storm, and the conditions have got so bad that the tournament has been temporarily stopped.
Before the suspension, Hatton was struggling big time, and at one point, he was furious when hitting a shot.
The Englishman could be heard saying, ‘It f****** slipped out my f****** hands.’

It looked like grim conditions for everyoneMeanwhile, his Ryder Cup teammate MacIntyre achieved an incredible round two score of 66.
He is joint-top with South African Richard Sterne, and the Scotsman joked that he achieved the score in a four club wind and that he needed five gloves on to play.
That was on Friday, so the conditions have worsened from there.
However, Englishman Nathan Kimsey managed to defy the conditions by scoring nine straight birdies.
It was a run that has put his name into DP World Tour history as the joint-most birdies in a row.
Despite this magnificent performance, he is only joint 42nd on five under par.
Hatton is also pretty low down and is level with another of his Ryder Cup teammates in Tommy Fleetwood, who is also struggling.
However, there have been a few positives across the weekend, with Sir Andy Murray and Ronan Keating taking part in the invitational part of the competition.
That included a hilarious shot from the tennis legend on his professional golf debut.
