PLAY was suspended in Augusta, Georgia late on Thursday at the 63rd US Masters due to inclement weather, with more than one third of the field still on the course. Lightning was spotted in the area of Augusta National Golf Club. Americans Davis Love, Brandel Chamblee and Scott McCarron shared the clubhouse lead at three-under par 69. Japan’s Jumbo Ozaki was at three-under-par but fell out of a share of the lead with a bogey at the 17th hole. He was awaiting a four-foot par putt on the 18th when the horn sounded for all to take cover.
