The 87th edition of Masters has had its fair share of exciting moments so far. Through all the surprises, windy weather and heavy rain have been the only constant in Augusta this year.

LIV golfer Brooks Koepka solidified his lead at the Masters before bad weather suspended play at Augusta. The 32-year-old, who has returned to form at Augusta after a disappointing run in the 2022 edition, is not willing to take any chances this year.His unrelenting focus was evident when the player took a little detour instead of rushing inside during the heavy downpour.

The seventh green at Augusta was already drenched when Koepka arrived to play. The golf club decided to suspend play as the weather grew more ominous by the minute. Before the horn sounded, Koepka hit a shot that he was fairly satisfied with. “I thought I hit a good bunker shot, it looked like it just skidded on the water. I’m glad we stopped,” the golfer opined on Saturday.

While most players rushed to the shelter to escape the miserable weather, the four-time major champion was not one of them. He and his caddie Ricky Elliot stopped and mulled over the 11ft putt in the middle of the heavy downpour instead. Next, they walked around the putt and scrutinized it from behind the ball.
