It couldn’t have been more fitting.
We’ve waited 19 months for the Masters to be played. More than a year and a half for Tiger Woods to defend his title. So, what’s an extra three hours, right? It was 2020 at its best.
The 84th playing of the Masters began around 7 a.m. with Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player hitting their ceremonial tee shots and after 30 minutes of play, the tournament was put on hold. A three-hour weather delay forced players to do what they’ve done all season … wait.
Eventually the first round of this year’s final major would resume and even the wet weather couldn’t dampen the mood at Augusta National.
