Play was suspended a second time Friday during the second round of the 2023 Masters Tournament after two pine trees fell near the 17th hole at Augusta National Golf Club.

"It fell on my chair," said Sylvia Martin, who was attending with Jodi Streff, both of Frisco, Texas."We were sitting under the umbrella because of the pinecones. We were kinda laughing and joking it was raining pinecones and pine needles.

Martin, Streff and others at the scene credited Deshey Thomas, a patron from Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, with alerting people as the trees were about to fall and getting everyone out of harm's way. USA TODAY Network photographers said Martin and Streff became emotional when seeing Thomas afterward.
