"Brooks Koepka Leads Marathon Masters Finale Despite Rain"

Despite adverse weather conditions, Brooks Koepka remains in the lead at the Masters and is determined to win his first Green Jacket. The 32-year-old golfer is four strokes ahead of Jon Rahm, with amateur Sam Bennett three strokes behind Rahm. The players will resume on day three on the 7th green, with Koepka in a strong position to win. Although play was interrupted due to flooded putting surfaces, officials remain confident the major will finish as scheduled on Sunday. If Koepka wins, he will take home $3.24m and secure his place as a top-level competitor.

Other players, including Matt Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, and Collin Morikawa, are also in contention but face stiff competition from the leading golfers. Scottie Scheffler needs a miraculous performance to defend his title successfully, while Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Bryson DeChambeau have already exited the tournament. Tiger Woods survived the cut by a stroke but is struggling with physical distress and is unlikely to win the tournament.

The Masters has not required a Monday finale since 1983, so officials are keen for a smooth finish. The winner will take home the prestigious Green Jacket and secure their place in golfing history.
