Masters to Resume Early Sunday, Splits Tees for Final Round to Try to Finish on Easter

The final pairing will have 30 holes to complete on Easter Sunday at Augusta National.

On Saturday, the third round of the 2023 Masters was suspended until Sunday morning as the final pairing of Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and amateur Sam Bennett reached the 7th green at Augusta National. Play was called due to heavy rain at 3:15 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon. 

Augusta National has announced that the third round will resume at 8:30 a.m. ET on Easter Sunday, as the tournament attempts to squeeze in 30 remaining holes of golf on the final day. 

Round 4 is expected to commence at 12:30 p.m. using split tees. Players will tee off on both No. 1 and No. 10 in twosomes to speed up play.

The CBS broadcast will air the remainder of Round 3 at 8:30 a.m. ET and will continue with its previously scheduled TV window for the final round, from 2-7 p.m. ET. 

When the tournament resumes early on Sunday morning, Koepka will face an 11-foot putt to save his par, while Rahm has a look at birdie. If Koepka misses his putt and Rahm capitalizes on his opportunity, the LIV golfer’s lead will shrink to 2 shots.
