Augusta, ga. – That’s for you, golf fans. Those who are upset about golf sharing. Those who cannot stay in the quarrel. Those who just want to watch the best players play the same tours more often.
This 89 master is for youbecause through 36 holes is a dooz. In fact, it’s so good, Rory Mcilroy He was asked what he thought when he noticed the names on him.
“I was just looking for my name,” he said. “I didn’t really worry about others.”
Touch. Notwithstanding, THIS The driver is good, people – and you deserve it. If the best players in the world are gathered only four times a year, we better get ruling tables like this, especially if they are on the largest tour of the year in the world’s most famous golf course.
Let us break it down: Dear European Justin Rose runs In eight under the sub -creator/US Open Champion Bryson dechambeau It’s a back, Mcilroy fan favorites and candidate for the best player without a Major Corey Conners are two back. Four players are only three of the superiority – and this includes the defense of the scottie Scheffler champion, the open champion Shane Lowry and the fiery (and fun) Tyrrell Hatton.
A good board ‘, right?
“We have some great guys on top of the manager’s table,” Scheffler said, “so it should be a fun weekend.”
Said well, Scottie!

Rose went so low on Thursday (65) he did not need to shoot better than 71 Friday to keep his superiority. At eight under him is the man out in front, hitting 14 greens in a second round with low stress. He has won a US Open and a golden Olympic medal and played in six Ryder cups, but he has never ended better than the second here when he lost in a play off to Sergio Garcia in 2017.
He is now the one who is followed. And the list of hunters is attractive.
Dechambeau, the big twice entertaining, strange, strange, talented champion by Uber, will join Rose in the latest pair of Saturday after shooting the 69-68 rounds. He has hit hundreds of other golf balls than anyone else in the range this week. On Friday he was asked about an upper action of the fist he was doing in the range. He says it is a kind like a ping-pong rhythm, where you will try to create the ball. He later added that he cycles through a hundred (!) Different opinions of the oscillation per week, 15 or 20 only per range session.
“I’ve done a lot of things there,” he said, smiling. “You wouldn’t want to be there.”
Then it’s mcilroy. He made two late doubles on Thursday, but retired Friday to stage the leaders, playing the first six ninth holes in five under (an eagle in 13) to shoot 66. He did not make a noise and was on a good Friday behind the space.
“I think generally just proud of myself with the way I replied today after finishing last night,” he said. “I just had to remind myself that I played really good golf yesterday, and you know, I wouldn’t let two bad holes dictate the narrative for the rest of the week. But, after all, just proud of how I went back to it today.”
Mcilroy may always be the biggest scene of the story here, as long as he continues to be one of the best players in the world and follows the Grand Slam career pursuit, which he only needs a master’s victory to finish.
Scheffler, The World Nr. 1 and the winner twice here is three back despite having his best things so far. Still, he is in the main position to win three green jackets before returning 29 years old.
The list of contenders continues. Victor Hovland and Jason Day are four under, four of the lead. Five shots back – and still a lot in this thing – is Ludwig Aberg, Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed and Collin Morikawa. Heck, even Xander Schauffle, winner of two diplomas last season, is two under, six from the superiority, but with 36 holes to make ground.
This year’s masters may not have Tiger Woods, but she has PGA Tour and Liv Star claiming a green jacket.
Both sides may not be able to agree on many, but we can all come to the same conclusion here: this will be done well.
“Only only half the road, we have 36 holes to go to a really difficult golf course,” Mcilroy said. “Thing can happen.”
And it can only be done better. Cheers, golf fans.
