The third round of the Masters has been suspended for the day by heavy rain at 3:15 p.m. ET Saturday.

Brooks Koepka has increased his lead to four strokes, playing the first six holes in 1 under to get to 13 under overall through 42 holes.

Jon Rahm is at 9 under, having played the first six holes in 1 over.

Amateur Sam Bennett, the final member of the featured threesome, remains in third, falling back to 6 under after going 2 over in the same span.

A steady rain only got heavier after the third round began shortly before lunchtime, with those making the cut going off in threesomes from both the first and 10th tees.

But it became impossible to carry on as large puddles began to form on the pristine greens.

Collin Morikawa, Viktor Hovland, Matt Fitzpatrick and Patrick Cantlay are tied for fourth at 5 under.

After making the cut on the number, Tiger Woods is +6 thru 7 holes and is last at +9 in the 54-player field.

Players will return to the course early Sunday to finish off the third round before jumping right into the final round with hopes of completing play before sundown,

Sunday’s forecast is much more promising, with temperatures expected to climb into the mid-60s and sunshine breaking through in the afternoon.
