We were so close, golf fans.
We got Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player teeing off at the 2020 Masters at Augusta National, and even with grey skies, all felt good in the world with golf’s most classic tournament being played, even if it was in November. Heck, we were getting really early tee times, too!
But then? The skies opened up. Just around 20 minutes after the first round began, rain came pouring down, and delayed everything. Once again, 2020 is the worst. We can’t have nice things.
It appears the weather might clear up later in the day, so maybe that means we’ll get some golf in?
But it’s getting WET out there:

The Masters having a weather delay just as it is getting started is the most 2020 thing ever.

Anyone who didn’t expect a weather delay at the Masters this morning hasn’t been paying attention to 2020. pic.twitter.com/gbyesD4NuG
