Augusta Masters washed out

AUGUSTA: The first round of the Masters was called off yesterday for the first time in 64 years, after more rain fell on an already water-logged course.

Tiger Woods’ quest for a record third straight green jacket is now set to begin today at Augusta National Golf Club. Officials hope to get in 36 holes then, though more rain was expected in the morning. “We believe this golf course is unplayable,” said Will Nicholson, chairman of Augusta National’s competition committees. “This golf course will just not take any more water.”
