Several spectators had a lucky escape as strong winds brought three trees crashing down during the second round of golf's 87th Masters in the United States. Tournament officials confirmed that no injuries had been reported following the terrifying incident near the 17th tee at Augusta National.
“The safety and well-being of everyone attending the Masters tournament will always be the top priority of the club,” a statement read. “We will continue to closely monitor weather today and through the tournament.”
The incident occurred as play was suspended for the second time, an earlier stoppage having lasted just 21 minutes. No further play was possible and the second round was scheduled to resume at 8am local time today (April 8).
