The conditions at Augusta National should be much improved for both the players and patrons as the Masters moves into second-round play Friday.

After a rainy start, the showers and thunderstorms that blanketed Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday are expected to give way to sunshine as the course gets a chance to dry out a little. Of course, the abrupt weather changes are nothing new for this time of year in Georgia.

Golfers who began play in the morning in Thursday's opening round will tee off later in the day on Friday, while the players with later tee times to start the tournament will get an earlier start in Round 2.

Here's the latest forecast for Friday's second round at the Masters.
