Brooks Koepka led Jon Rahm of Spain by four shots Saturday afternoon when the Masters was suspended for the remainder of the day due to heavy rain in Augusta, Ga.
After inclement weather cut short Friday’s action, the field returned Saturday morning to finish the second round and begin the third after a short rest, eventually playing through a steady downpour.
Koepka, Rahm and amateur Sam Bennett made up the final threesome. They had completed six holes when an air horn sounded at 3:15 p.m. local time as Augusta National Golf Club made the decision to suspend play for the rest of the day.
The third round is expected to resume Sunday morning followed by the final round.
Koepka was 1-under par for his round to move to 13 under for the tournament. Rahm, who began the round two behind Koepka, followed an early birdie with consecutive bogeys and headed to the clubhouse at 9 under for the tournament.
Bennett (2 over through six holes) was in third place at 6 under, and Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, England’s Matt Fitzpatrick and Norway’s Viktor Hovland were tied for fourth at 5 under.
