- Georgia pines crash to the ground amid whipping winds
- Day two’s play is ended early as trees block the 17th tee
Spectators at the 87th Masters had a miraculous escape after three trees dramatically crashed to the ground during day two of the tournament.
At 4.21pm local time, moments before play was halted for a second time and amid whipping winds, patrons raced towards safety in the area between the 15th green and the 17th tee as the tight collection of towering Georgia pines toppled. Several individuals only narrowly avoided serious injury. Sergio García, who was on the putting surface on the 15th at the time, was among those to look on with amazement.
