Thanks to the two-and-a-half hour late start due to inclement weather on Thursday, a few golfers found themselves having to prepare to finish their first round Friday morning.

Augusta National suspended play at 7:51 p.m. EDT Thursday due to darkness. Two groups: Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Max Homa and Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa and Tommy Fleetwood will complete their first rounds Friday morning at 7:50 a.m. Meanwhile, the second round for the rest of the field will begin at 8 a.m.

ESPN’s live coverage for the remaining first rounders will resume at 8 a.m. until the aforementioned six golfers complete their round. ESPN’s second round live coverage will remain as scheduled from 3-7 p.m.
