Max Homa, Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau (-6 after two laps) are those who fared best in the difficult conditions due to the wind. Matthieu Pavon is holding out in the top 10 (8th to -1) and Tiger Woods is definitely eternal.
Only 8 players out of the 89 entered beat the course this Friday. A constant wind swept through Augusta National with gusts reaching 70 km/h. Add to that faster greens and complex flag positions... All the ingredients to make life difficult for the best players in the world. After 36 holes, only fourteen of them are under par, some knew how to do well and some were able to limit the damage. Tiger Woods makes the cut for the 24th consecutive time. An absolute record. Woods thus erases his friend Fred Couples and South African legend Gary Player from the shelves. The 48-year-old champion struggled at the start of the day with two bogeys on the five holes he had to complete.
