Round 3 of The Masters suspended for remainder of Saturday due to rain

Due to inclement weather, The Masters officially announced Round 3 of the tournament was suspended for the remainder of the day.

“Due to inclement weather conditions, the third round has been officially suspended for the rest of the day as of 3:15 p.m. EDT,” the club’s official account tweeted. “Further information will be announced once available.”

Brooks Koepka led the tournament at the time of suspension at 13-under-par. He led second-place man Jon Rahm by four shots. The two played in a threesome with amateur Sam Bennett, as the tournament opted for split tees and groups of three to speed up play.

Texas A&M golfer Sam Bennett sets impressive record at The Masters

Bennett shot a 32 on the front nine at Augusta National, setting the record for lowest first-nine score by an amateur in Masters history. That put him at 4-under heading into the back nine of Thursday’s opening round thanks in large part to an eagle on the second hole. He ended up finishing the day with a 4-under 68 as part of a bogey-free round.

Bennett is one of seven amateurs in the field this year after winning the 2022 U.S. Amateur. He defeated Ben Carr in the final round to clinch an invitation to both The Masters and The Open during the 2023 PGA Tour season. Carr is also in the field as an amateur and shot 2-over 38 on the front nine.

At Texas A&M during the fall season, Bennett played in four tournaments and had a 70.73 stroke average in 11 rounds of action. His best round came at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate where he shot a 7-under 65, and he helped Texas A&M to a team title at the Blessing Intercollegiate when he finished fourth individually.
