The start of Masters week was impacted by inclement weather at Augusta National with Monday’s practice round suspended after thunderstorms.
However, the rain had cleared by the time the Masters began on Thursday with Rory McIlroy renewing his bid to win a first green jacket and complete golf’s career grand slam.

After initially announcing a delay to the start of the practice session on Monday, organisers confirmed a suspension and evacuation of Augusta.
A statement from the tournament said: “Due to inclement weather conditions, Augusta National Golf Club was forced to suspended Monday’s practice round and evacuate the grounds at 11.25am.”
However, the weather improved by Tuesday and Wednesday for the remainder of the practice rounds and a chance of delays to the actual tournament appears unlikely.
