Weather conditions will be much improved for the final two rounds of the 2017 Masters. First it was rain and storms to wash out the traditional Par 3 Contest on Wednesday. Then the opening rounds Thursday and Friday featured strong gusty winds and cool temperatures. The final rounds this weekend at Augusta National will be nice, with less wind and warmer temperatures for Saturday and Sunday.
