Rory McIlroy’s opening drive lands in the fairway as he commences his second round at Augusta.

Playing partner Ludvig Aberg also launches a superb tee shot.

Max Homa, who started the day on the projected cut line, recorded a bogey on the first hole, placing him below the line and in jeopardy of missing the third round.

Homa, competing alongside Justin Rose and JJ Spaun, is currently approaching the fourth hole.

If Justin Rose were to secure victory at the Masters, he would become the second-oldest player to achieve this feat, placing him among legendary figures.

At 44 years of age, Rose would be approximately two years younger than Jack Nicklaus was when he triumphed at the 1986 Masters.

He would also be about a year older than Tiger Woods when he claimed his memorable ‘Return to Glory’ Masters title in 2019.

A concise reminder and preview of the upcoming player groups.

Justin Rose improves his score, extending his lead to four strokes over the rest of the field.

Top contenders: Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg, Tyrrell Hatton, Bryson DeChambeau.

Other notable players: Aaron Rai, Harris English, Jason Day, Akshay Bhatia.

Upcoming tee times:

9:36 AM EDT – Brooks Koepka, Russell Henley, Sungjae Im

9:47 AM EDT – Adam Scott, Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland

9:58 AM EDT – Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Åberg, Akshay Bhatia

Fred Couples, the current record holder for the oldest golfer to make the cut at the Masters, is positioned within the top 11 after an opening round of one-under par.

Couples is two years younger than Bernhard Langer. Should Langer miss the cut and Couples successfully make it, the American golfer could further extend his record.

German golf icon and two-time Masters champion, Bernhard Langer, is scheduled to tee off later this morning. He concluded his opening round with a two-over par.

This score currently places him on the favorable side of the projected cut line.

Marking his final Masters appearance, if Langer makes the cut, he will become the oldest player in Masters history to compete on Saturday and Sunday.

Matt McCarty’s Thursday round was impressive, propelling him into the top-10 contention before finishing at even par.

However, Friday began poorly with a double bogey and a bogey on the first two holes.

The Masters Tournament, known for its rich and sometimes understated traditions, features a unique custom that might be unfamiliar to some golf enthusiasts.

Augusta National bestows crystal awards upon golfers for specific achievements during the tournament.

This tradition, dating back to 1954, recognizes four distinct accomplishments with prestigious crystal prizes.

• Lowest daily score: crystal vase
• Eagle: pair of crystal goblets
• Hole-in-one: large crystal bowl
• Double eagle: large crystal bowl

9:03 AM EDT – Dustin Johnson, Nick Taylor, Justin Hastings (A)

9:14 AM EDT – Sergio Garcia, Lucas Glover, Daniel Berger

9:25 AM EDT – Patrick Cantlay, Rasmus Højgaard, Matt Fitzpatrick

Yesterday, Sergio Garcia’s outfit, likened to Ronald McDonald’s attire, captured attention for its striking appearance in the world of golf fashion.

Today, French golfer Matthieu Pavon is turning heads with his distinctive attire.

Most of the groups currently on the course are positioned below the cut line. Rafael Campos is the only player so far to climb above the cut, a trend expected to become more common later in the day.

Tournament leader Justin Rose initiates his second round with a pure drive down the first fairway, setting a strong tone for his day.

Playing partners Max Homa’s drive veers left, narrowly avoiding the deep rough, while JJ Spaun also delivers an exceptionally solid drive.

A reminder of the current standings as we approach the first featured group’s start.

Leading contenders: Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg, Tyrrell Hatton, Bryson DeChambeau.

Further down the leaderboard: Aaron Rai, Harris English, Jason Day, Akshay Bhatia.

Attending the Masters is considered a highlight for golf enthusiasts, given the high value of secondary market tickets. Experiencing Augusta National in person is often described as a truly unforgettable event.

Judging by the attire of some patrons, as seen in recent photos, many are seasoned attendees, familiar with the Masters experience.

Just days prior, Rory McIlroy commented on Collin Morikawa’s decision to avoid media after the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

McIlroy supported Morikawa, stating ‘He’s right,’ and suggesting that unlike other professional athletes, golfers are not obligated to engage with the media after competitions.

Following a Thursday performance of even par, which presents a significant challenge to his career grand slam aspirations this week, McIlroy chose to forgo media interactions at Augusta.

For further details on his decision and the ensuing reactions, read below.

Augusta National is set for splendid conditions on Friday.

Attendees can anticipate a memorable day of golf.

Cameron Davis faces a tough start, currently on the cut line but struggling after a bogey on the first hole, placing him at +3 for the tournament. Austin Eckroat is further behind, also with a bogey, positioned at +5 overall.

With potentially inclement weather expected later, these early groups might need to capitalize on the favorable conditions.

During his first round at the Masters yesterday, Max Homa was involved in an unusual situation, accidentally hitting a caddie with his ball near the green. His immediate reaction, ‘Come on dude,’ directed at the caddie, has sparked debate. Was it Homa’s error or the caddie’s positioning? You decide!
