Two pine trees fall at Masters, narrowly missing spectators; play suspended

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A potential tragedy was narrowly averted at the Masters on Friday as two tall pine trees fell near the 17th hole at Augusta National.

There did not appear to be any injuries, although video from television coverage showed there were patrons all around the area as the trees crashed across the front of the 17th tee box amid high winds.

Play was suspended for the second time, at 4:22 p.m. Eastern time, and the course was evacuated.
