After weather disrupted the 2023 Masters and forced 39 players to finish their second rounds on Saturday morning, things are finally getting back on track.
Brooks Koepka is your Masters leader at 12-under with Jon Rahm two strokes back.
Now, Round 3 is set to tee off with all of the competitors finally at the tournament’s halfway mark. Thirty-six holes remain to determine who will be crowned champion and earn the honor of slipping on the famous green jacket.
A grueling afternoon is in store for those who had to complete their second round this morning. They’ve already spent hours navigating cold and soggy conditions, and they’ll have to regroup and prepare to head back out into the elements for an all-important third round.

Round 3 is often referred to as “moving day,” when players try to go low and move up the leaderboard ahead of the final round. But today, it could be more a case of having to grind it out. Many of the competitors will just be trying to stay within striking distance heading into Sunday at Augusta.
The Sporting News is tracking all the key moments from Round 3 at the 2023 Masters Tournament:

Masters live updates, highlights from Round 3
(All times Eastern. Updates will begin when Round 3 gets underway on Saturday.)
12:34 p.m.: Patrick Cantlay is showing us there are scores out there today, at least when the rain isn’t pouring. He has rattled off three consecutive birdies to move to -3 on the day and -5 for the tournament.
12:13 p.m.: Conditions remain challenging in Augusta as we move into the afternoon. Temperatures are hovering below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The rain has stopped for the time being, but it’s expected to pick back up shortly. Today will be a real test of perseverance for these players.
11:41 a.m.: Players have already begun teeing off in Round 3 after a quick turnaround following the conclusion of Round 2. But we’ll have to wait a little over an hour before the leaders — and Tiger Woods — hit the course.
11:08 a.m.: Round 3 will begin at 11:30 a.m. ET.
10:45 a.m.: The hole locations are set for whenever Round 3 begins:
