AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF) – Wednesday at the Masters Tournament marks the continuation of three more traditions.

The morning began with the final day of practice rounds as participants prepare for possible inclement weather on Thursday with much nicer conditions expected for Friday.

“Based off what kind of weather we’re going to get and where the conditions are right now, it’ll be interesting to see what the final scoring will be, but don’t get yourself too far out of the tournament come Thursday and Friday just because of the weather,” said Jason Day, making his 13th Masters appearance.

It’s important to get off to a good start, so — I’ve heard a lot of the thunderstorms are mid-morning. We’ll see.”
