Just before 1 p.m. Augusta time, players were called off the course because of heavy rain, thunder and lightening. The thunder and lightening was not expected, so tee times were not adjusted to account for any delays. If the delay lasts for very long, there's a good chance we will not complete the third round today, meaning we will have to play extra holes tomorrow.
As I sit here, the rain is pounding down on the roof of the media center. In 2006, play was suspended at around this same time, and the delay lasted four hours.
I think the situation helps Tiger because of his mental toughness, he is able to "weather the storms" better than most other players.
