Augusta, April 8 (Ians) Korea’s Kh Lee brilliantly carded the joint low score of the day with a 5-under 67 on Friday to make the weekend rounds of the weather-hit Masters Tournament and was joined by countrymen Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim.
The year’s opening major was disrupted by inclement weather twice in the afternoon before play was suspended for the day, but well before American Brooks Koepka signed for a bogey-free 67 and 12-under 132 total, tied for third lowest in the tournament history, to seize the clubhouse lead at Augusta National.
World No. 3 Jon Rahm of Spain was sitting on 9-under through nine holes of his second round before being called off the golf course while amateur Sam Bennett delivered a second straight 68 to sit in solo third on 8-under.
Legend Tiger Woods, a five-time Masters champion and 82-time PGA Tour winner, was also battling for a record-equalling 23rd...

The golf world has lost one their own, as Ken Venturi has died at 82 years old, according to the San Francisco Gate, after developing pneumonia and an intestinal infection. Venturi's death was confirmed by his son, Matt.
Though he was an accomplished amateur player, Venturi's journey into professional golf was trying. After two losses in the Masters and sustaining injuries in a car accident in 1961, his game fell into a slump that could have ended his career.
However, in 1964 Venturi endured sweltering heat and humidity, winning the U.S. Open. After his final putt in the difficult weater conditions, Venturi raised his arms, mumbling, "Oh my God, I've won the Open!"
Venturi turned 82 years old Wednesday (May 15). He was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame on May 6, though he was unable to attend the ceremony in St. Augustine, Fla.

A father at an aquarium reaches into the tank, carves out a block of water full of manta rays and fish and brings it home, placing it into a Samsung television set in his living room. When he and his family don 3D glasses and settle onto the sofa, the sea life swims out of the TV toward them.
