As we move into Easter weekend, some fortunate golf fans are spending the holiday at Augusta National golf course in Georgia, enjoying the premier PGA tournament of the season, the Masters. Like many tourneys, play begins on Thursdays, with the excitement and drama building to Friday afternoon as everyone finds out which players will make the cut for the weekend rounds on Saturday and Sunday.
But at this yearâs Masters, the drama started early on Friday, as inclement weather caused officials to suspend play twiceâat about 3:00 p.m. Eastern and again at about 4:20 p.m. Eastern. Just a few minutes before the second delay was called, though, nature caused a big scare for the fans watching the tournament, when several tall pine trees suddenly fell nearby:
