Posted: Sat Apr 12 1:51 PM

Augusta, GA (Sports Network) - Rain gave way to approaching thunderstorms Saturday afternoon at Augusta National, bringing the third round of the Masters to a halt.

The horn sounded at 1:00 p.m. (et) for a weather delay. While it had been raining steadily most of the day, weather stoppages were not expected.

Play resumed about 40 minutes later.

Saturday's stoppage marked the first time since 2005 that the Masters has been delayed twice in one week. The start of Thursday's first round was delayed an hour by fog.
