The Masters Tournament is the biggest celebration of golf. Fans love it, and the golfers aim to earn themselves the prestigious green jacket. But this storied event has much more to it, especially regarding the weather. And this year also saw the negative effects of the weather on the iconic Augusta National. It is a distressing situation, and the PGA Tour pro, Justin Thomas, made a cryptic comment via an Instagram post.

Justin Thomas expresses his unhappiness with the weather forecast

As a result of the bad weather, the officials had to suspend the second round at 4:22 p.m. ET on Friday. However, it didn’t come as a shock. Fans had been anticipating that, and the golfers were also expecting this all week. But the bad weather led to a scary incident. Trees fell over the fans due to the powerful air at the 17th hole of the tournament. It happened soon after the siren blew, alarming the weather change. Thankfully, there was no injury, but the flow of the game was altered, making Thomas speak his heart out. But, the problems did not end there as it was only the beginning.

The former world number-one golfer took to his Instagram for an unsettling update. He posted a distressed picture of himself and wrote, “When you’re checking out the weather forecast for the morning… long day ahead of us tomorrow! @themasters” He posted this after the weather shift during the Masters adversely affected the tournament. However, not to mention, LIV Golfers, especially Brooks Koepka, are doing great at the event currently. This is also another reason for Thomas’ distress, as a LIV golfer has surpassed the PGA Tour players.

Is Greg Norman’s wish coming true?

Greg Norman earlier revealed the master plan of celebrating at the finishing hole of the Masters if any LIV Golfer wins the Tournament. Brooks Koepka agreed with him, and it seems he will make Norman’s wish come true. His first round had a great start with a little blimp of almost penalty for breaking the rule. But he recovered quickly and has been dominating the field, surpassing Rory McIlroy. Koepka added a 67 to day one’s 65 to lead on day two as well. Due to the LIV Golf and the PGA Tour rivalry, the fans never thought a defector could win Masters, but we never know. Koepka can turn the tables around.
