AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) -Three towering pine trees came crashing down near the tee box of the par-four 17th hole at Augusta National on Friday and sent patrons running for safety before play at the Masters was suspended for the day as a storm moved into the area.

Augusta National Golf Club said nobody was injured from the trees that fell down as breezy northeasterly winds ushered in colder conditions.
