‘Can’t feel your hands’: Australian hopes wash away at stormy Masters

• Jason Day best of Australians in eighth, but nine-shots behind leader
• Cameron Smith is 12-shots adrift as rain sees third round abandoned

British Open champion Cameron Smith summed up the general feeling of despair as hopes of an Australian Masters triumph were washed away at Augusta National.

Former runner-ups Smith, Jason Day and 2013 winner Adam Scott were playing an impossible game of catch-up when Saturday's third round was abandoned after more than five hours of relentless rain.
