Moving day at the Masters was mostly about everyone leaving on Saturday. Know more:
A cold, relentless rain was too much for Augusta National to handle, leading to one of the earliest finishes for a Saturday—just 15 minutes after CBS came on the air—and setting up a marathon finish for Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and anyone able to catch them.
“I’m not too concerned about playing 29 holes or however many holes we’ve got left,” Koepka said. “It’s part of the deal. I’m pretty sure I’ll be up for it considering it is the Masters. So I don’t think anybody should have a problem with that.” Rahm did remarkably well to close the gap on Koepka, getting to within one shot when he holed a birdie putt from jt off the back of the 17th green. But he came up short of the 18th with a 4-iron—he hit 8-iron into the 18th hole in warm weather on Thursday—and made bogey for a 69.Cameron Young summed it for some three dozen players who were forced to handle the rain, the cold and a course that played longer than it ever has on Saturday morning.
Woods had his own issues. He was hovering around the cut line — he had never missed the cut as a pro at Augusta—when he finished bogey-bogey to fall outside the top 50 and ties. He needed either Thomas or Sungjae Im to bogey one of the last two holes to make it. “It was brutal out there,” Bennett said. “I think they honestly could have called it about 45 minutes earlier, but they tried their best.”
