The second round of the Masters was suspended Friday afternoon due to inclement weather that caused three trees to fall at Augusta National Golf Club.

When play was halted, Brooks Koepka held a three-shot lead over Jon Rahm.

Here's a recap of the abbreviated second day of the tournament:

Koepka’s bogey-free 67 gave him a five-shot lead entering the clubhouse on Friday. It was nothing overwhelmingly spectacular, but he took advantage of the par-fives. In fact, the entire -5 on his scorecard came on those holes (three birdies, one eagle), as he parred everything else.

Koepka has just one bogey in his first 36 holes to go along with 11 total birds. After missing the cut last year, Koepka’s dominance so far looks like that of his old self when he won four majors in a 23-month span.

His lead shrunk with Rahm's superb play (more on him shortly), but Koepka has put himself as the live favorite to don a green jacket for the first time.

Not many had heard of Sam Bennett before Thursday, but he’s rapidly becoming a household name.

Bennett shot a 4-under 68 for the second consecutive day, putting him at -8 for the tournament and in sole possession of third place.
