The Masters: TREES Fall Across The 17th Tee-Play Suspended
Masters 2023: Trees Fall at Stormy Augusta
Play is suspended on day two of the Masters after trees fall across the 17th tee at Augusta because of storms.
BBC 8 APR 2023
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Play was suspended on Friday afternoon at the Masters tournament in Georgia after three large pine trees fell on the course apparently due to high winds.
No one was injured, according to ESPN. The second round of play has been suspended for the rest of the day.
"Oh good gracious, watch out!" one Sky Sports golf announcer exclaimed as a tree came down near the No. 17 tee. "Oh my god, I hope everyone is ok," he said.
"I was sitting, looking, waiting for the next group to come up to the tee and it fell maybe 8-10 chairs to our left," patron Megan Hill, of Manhattan, New York, told USA Today. "I stood up and screamed and thought, 'Is it going to fall on me? It fell to the left of us and it was so scary. If the wind had been blowing a slightly different direction, we might have got hit."
