Kiwi golfer Ryan Fox has overcome a stacked field and illness, but it's the hills at Augusta that has come as an unexpected challenge in his US Masters debut.
Before heavy rain suspended day three, Fox navigated 11 holes in miserable conditions to make the cut at three under par.
But despite being tied for 14th with world No.1 Scott Scheffler, and a battle with the flu, it was the steep inclines that proved the trickiest to navigate.
"Out there, it's a tough walk, I didn't expect that when I first came," Fox told Sky Sport. "[Just] how hilly and how long the golf course is to walk. [Will be] a bit of a slog tomorrow.
"We're kind of used to it, since I've been over here, we've had a lot of delays and a lot of extra holes the next day.
"It is what it is, adrenaline is going to be great out there tomorrow, get to play Sunday at the Masters - it doesn't get much better than that."
With similar weather predicted for the final round at the Masters, victory won't come easy for those still in the hunt.
Fox hopes the wild conditions ease later on in the day as he looks to put it all together in pursuit of a top-10 finish.
"Forecast-wise, it looks like tomorrow we're going to have not as good as it was the first couple of days, but we're going to hopefully have a bit of wind and no rain, which will be nice," he told Sky Sport.
"The golf course will play relatively soft after all the rain today, even with all the technology they have to dry the golf course out, there's only so much rain the course can handle.
"I think it will be, potentially tomorrow afternoon, if it warms up a little bit, it might be a birdie-fest out there so expect to go out and try and shoot a low number and see what it is.
"Just get out there and do my best, the golf game feels really close, there's been some good stuff this week.
"If I can put it all together, there's been patches of it, where it's been solid, and I maybe haven't taken advantage of a few of the chances."
