Three Georgia Pines uprooted by winds as Day 2 play suspendedAustralian amateur Harrison Crowe and his entourage have relived the terrifying moment a falling tree sent spectators scurrying for their lives during the second round of the Masters.
“They were on the other side so that was lucky,” Crowe told AAP. “I was on the 16 green . We heard it. We watched the whole thing. It just started crackling and then it came down. It was scary.”“My heart was up in my throat,” she told AAP. “First you heard this almighty crack. I looked over and saw this big tree toppling, then you see it falling on to another tree, then another and my first comment was, ‘F**k’.
“So they didn’t actually see it - they heard it. Everyone is just screaming, because it’s just like, ‘This hasn’t happened’. Everything just stopped.”“Tony was 20 metres from it. I s**t myself. You could feel it down there. This little tornado whipped up. It didn’t last long but it caught those trees,” he said. “You could see them start to sway. They were lucky no one got killed. Very, very lucky.
