Competition at the 2023 Masters was briefly suspended Friday afternoon due to inclement weather.

Augusta National Golf Club put second-round play on pause at 3:07 p.m. ET and proceeded to resume play 21 minutes later.

Forty golfers finished their second round before the suspension, while the rest of the field was on the course.

Brooks Koepka is currently the leader at 12-under for the tournament. Amateur Sam Bennett is next on the leaderboard at 8-under through two full rounds.

Third-place Jon Rahm (7-under) was in the second-to-last group to tee off on Friday and had completed just six holes at the time of the suspension.

Barring any further delays, everyone should be able to complete the second round on Friday. From there, the tournament can determine which players make the cut.

It's one of the most iconic trophies in sports. But how is it made and how did the tradition start? Here are some fun facts about the Masters green jacket.
