Members of Augusta National’s greenkeeping team had been working on the greens in the run up to the horn being blown. The final group had reached the seventh green, which was flooded, when play was called.

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.

Further information will be announced once available.#themasters

It has since been confirmed that the third round will resume at 8.30am local time (1.30pm UK) with the final round expected to get under way at 12.30pm (5.30pm UK) with players playing in pairings off both the first and tenth tees.

There hasn’t been a Monday finish at the Masters since 1983, when Seve Ballesteros won his second Green Jacket.

As it stands, Brooks Koepka (-13) holds a four-shot advantage over Jon Rahm (-9) at the top of the leaderboard. Both have completed six holes of their third round, as has the third member of their group, amateur Sam Bennett, who is on six-under.

Patrick Cantlay (thru 13) and US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick (thru 11) are tied on five-under alongside Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland (both thru seven).
