Heavy rain that left pools of standing water across Augusta National brought play to a halt at the Masters on Saturday.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Heavy rain 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 determine who will wear the green jacket.
Sergio Garcia teed off at the 17th as he finished his second round, and the 2017 champion tried to crane his head over the patrons as he walked toward his shot to see where the trees had stood. Several workers around the area were still discussing what happened, and one called it “a miracle” that no one was injured or killed.
Heavy rain 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 initially cleared for 21 minutes because of 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.
