This was the second time the course has been shut down this week due to weather — Augusta National also was forced to close on Monday due to heavy rains.
Tornado warnings in Georgia and neighboring South Carolina have been issued as a line of dangerous storms swept across the Deep South.
The forecast is more promising through the rest of the week, though high winds Thursday and Friday could make the playing conditions challenging. Sunny weather, with highs in the 70s, is expected for the final two rounds Saturday and Sunday.
