12 best photos from the Masters’ rain-soaked weekend

The weather at Augusta National for the 2023 Masters this weekend has been absolutely horrendous. The tournament has been paused multiple times because of weather, which also knocked a couple giant trees down Friday on the course.

And for Saturday’s third round, the weather lived up to its 100 percent chance of rain forecast. In fact, the weather was so intense that the third round was suspended for the rest of the day a little after 3 p.m. ET — minutes after CBS began broadcasting the action on network TV.

It was wet, soggy, cold and just generally unpleasant, but it made for some entertaining photos. So here are 12 rainy photos from the 2023 Masters weekend.
