2017 Masters scoreboard http://www.masters.com/en_US/scores/index.html
Blue skies, white clouds scurrying along, sounds ideal right ?
Those clouds are scurrying because of the blustery winds whipping across Augusta, winds that have players scurrying again today to stay as close to par as they can to make it to what looks to be a much more Masters like weekend of warm temperatures and gentle Georgia breezes.
Players within 10 shots of the lead and ties will qualify, so it's hang in there, make the cut then act 2 of this drama will unfold.
As many thought, Charlie Hoffman has come back down to earth after yesterday's phenomenal -7 65, he is currently at -4 with two to play, but still has the lead. That has really tightened up a packed first page of the leaderboard.
Bill McGirt hasn't hurt his chances, adding a 73 to his opening 69 for a -2 total. Sergio Garcia is one of the few who birdied the first, in fact he birdied his first three in a row, and is currently -1 on his round nearing the end at -2 total.
Rickie Fowler has an eagle a birdie and 2 pars in his first 4 holes, what a great start, he is also -2.
Rory McIlroy will be in contention this weekend, he opened with E72, and is a shot over par today late in his round.
57 year old Freddie Couples shot 73 on Thursday and already has 3 birdies in his first 5 holes today, what a story that would be tonight.
So if Charlie Hoffman gets in at -4 the cut will be at +6 (10 shots) and ties for those of you who are scoreboard watching.
That would eliminate the defending champion Danny Willett who opened with a horrific quadruple bogey 8 and his 73 78 has him at -7.
Canadians: Adam Hadwin is -1 through 8 holes today, Mike Weir is +9 playing the back nine, and MacKenzie Hughes is finished at 79 80, a tough first Masters for the kid from Hamilton.
