AUGUSTA, Ga. — Not even Augusta National can hold back the skies. Rains pelted the Masters on Saturday, flooding greens and soaking fairways. At 3:15 p.m. ET, the club officially suspended play for the day, setting up a long Sunday of golf.
The round began at 11:06 a.m. following the conclusion of the weather-delayed Round 2. In order to maximize the number of holes played before the inevitable deluge, Augusta National sent the field off both No. 1 and No. 10 tees, and grouped the players into threesomes. A similar format is likely for Sunday.
Brooks Koepka began the day with a two-shot lead over Jon Rahm, and doubled that by the seventh hole. Koepka was -1 over the first six holes to stand at -13, while Rahm was +1 to fall to -9. Amateur Sam Bennett, playing in their group, bogeyed the first two holes but steadied himself and leads the rest of the field at -6.
The best rounds of the day belong to Patrick Cantlay and Matthew Fitzpatrick, who have both carded -3 scores to reach -5. Sungjae Im, who made the cut on the number by rolling in a do-or-die par earlier in the day, also is playing a -3 round to stand at even par. Cantlay, Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland are all at -5. Six players, including a resurgent Phil Mickelson, are one stroke back at -4.
Tiger Woods, starting off the 10th tee, has struggled throughout. He began the round +3, but is +6 on the round through seven holes to drop to +9. He's not alone; Dustin Johnson, another former champion, is also working on a +6 round.
