After rain and wind delays halted play on Friday and Saturday, the Open Championship is headed to its first Monday finish since 1988.

Many fans will have to return to work during the final round, and The Open decided to support them by tweeting out a doctor's note offering a diagnosis of "24-hour flu."

"Dr T. Morris" pays homage to St. Andrews native Old Tom Morris, who won four Open Championships between 1861 and 1867. His son, Young Tom Morris, won four consecutive Opens himself beginning in 1868.

In any case, Monday's final round will certainly be worth watching, with Jordan Spieth just one stroke behind the leaders as he looks to win his third major of 2015.
