Start of Masters postponed

The first round of the 67th US Masters has been postponed until tomorrow after more bad weather in Augusta.

More than three inches of rain has already fallen on the course during the build-up to the first major of the year, with further heavy rain forecast for this afternoon.

Tournament officials initially put back tee-off times by 30 minutes and then until 1100 local time (1600 Irish time), before deciding to cancel play for the day.

Weather permitting, the first round will start from both the first and 10th tees at 0730 (1230 Irish time) tomorrow morning, with the second round tentatively scheduled to start at 1330 (1830 Irish time) in the afternoon.
