Cutline crystallizes as Friday continues to firm
Scoring was scarce from the outset at this year’s Masters, and Augusta National Golf Club showed little sign of easing its grip early Friday.
Just 16 players in the 91-man field began the second round under par, with the cut line opening at 3 over, already higher than last year’s 2-over mark, and likely to rise as the course continues to dry out.
Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler headline those in position after solid starts, but much of Friday’s focus shifts to those fighting to extend their week.
Bryson DeChambeau, paired with McIlroy in the final round a year ago, is at 4 over and in danger of missing the cut. Ludvig Åberg, who has yet to finish outside the top seven here, sits at 2 over and near the projected number.
Several top names also face work to reach the weekend, including Patrick Cantlay, Collin Morikawa, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and Robert MacIntyre.
With firm conditions and little margin for error, the second round is shaping up as a grind to make the weekend.
