Heavy rains that left pools of standing water across Augusta National brought play to a halt at the Masters on Saturday, and Brooks Koepka and the rest of the field will have a long Sunday slog to decide who will wear the green jacket.
Many players had returned to the course early to finish second rounds, which were suspended Friday when a storm came through the area. It caused three towering pine trees to fall -- nobody was hurt -- and workers made sure there there was little evidence it even happened by the time patrons returned to the course.
"I was standing on the right side, which is near 17, right by the back right bunker on 16 lining up my putt," 1987 champion Larry Mize said."Then all of a sudden, I heard it, and I looked around, and I saw the trees.Heavy rains returned early in the third round, causing play to be suspended. The forecast looks drier for Sunday, when the field will finish that round before playing the final round.
On Friday, the course was cleared once for 21 minutes by an early band of storms. The air horns sounded again at 4:22 p.m. as another set arrived, forcing the evacuation of patrons and sending players and officials scrambling for cover. The uprooted pines fell slowly with two of them acting as support for the third, and that provided time for the patrons below to get out of the way. But the close call was evidenced by several crushed chairs beneath the fallen trees.
