Making plans on attending or watching this week's Masters? Well, if the recent past is any indication, rain will be in the forecast. Rain has been experienced during 48 of the 87 Masters — including the last five. Eight days of play have been postponed, but four days were made up by scheduling 36 holes in one day in 1936, 1938, 1939 and 2003. The last Monday finish due to weather occurred in 1983.
