AUGUSTA, Ga. — The third round of the 2023 Masters was suspended for the day at 3:15 p.m. ET due to inclement weather, setting the stage for a busy final day on Sunday in which half the field still has to complete at least 27 holes to finish the tournament.

Brooks Koepka leads at 13 under and was six holes through his third round when play was suspended. He’s playing alongside the closest competitors, Jon Rahm, who is nine under, and amateur Sam Bennett, who is six under.

That threesome will return to finish the par-4 7th hole when play resumes on Sunday morning.

The good news? Sunday’s forecast calls for partly cloudy conditions, less than 10 percent of rain after 7 a.m., winds around 13 mph and afternoon temps in the high 50s and low 60s.

There should be no problem completing the third round and finishing the final one. There’s still lots of golf to be played.
