AUGUSTA, Georgia : Two towering pine trees came crashing down near the tee box of the par-four 17th hole at Augusta National on Friday and sent patrons running for safety before play at the Masters was suspended for the day as a storm moved into the area.
"The safety and well-being of everyone attending the Masters Tournament will always be the top priority of the club," Augusta National Golf Club said in a statement."We will continue to closely monitor the weather today and through the tournament." Brooks Koepka went out in ideal early conditions and shot a five-under-par 67 that brought him to 12 under on the week and gave him a four-shot clubhouse lead over amateur Sam Bennett.
