84th Masters, live scoring here
With 48 players returning early this morning to complete their 2nd rounds on a very cool damp Saturday morning, it's all about making the cut, as much as taking the lead.
It fell at E with 3 of the 4 Canadians making it. Top 50 and ties get in.
Corey Connors came out early with 2 holes to play, birdied the 8th and 9th with a long up hill 35 footer to post a brilliant -7 65, (8 birdies, 1 bogey) and he will begin his 3rd round T18 -5. He drove the ball with great length and accuracy, 13/14 fairways hit, and only used 1.5 putts per green. This was the low round of the day (s)
Nick Taylor has posted 72,72 E and will play on the weekend
Mike Weir is at E with 4 holes (6,7,8,9) to play, badly needing a birdie or two to make the cut. He made a great save at 180 yard par 3 6th, chipping to 6 feet from a pulled tee shot in the pine straw, then got up and down from the front bunker at the 7th with a delicate downhill curler. He then played a classic 3 shot par 5 8th and his birdie 4 moved him to -1. Finally at the par 4 dog leg left 9th, he hit a tremendous sliced approach from the left rough and 2 putted to shoot 72 for a -1 total to qualify for the weekend !
Adam Hadwin has posted 74 ,71 +1 so his Masters is over.
At the other end of the scoreboard there are 5 players T1 at -9 including Dustin Johnson (65,70) and Jon Rahm (69 66) and Justin Thomas (66 69) then another 4 in at -8. It is a jam packed board that includes Tiger and Phil.
Round 3 and the 60 players who made it will play off split tees in threesomes starting at 10.45am and the way it's shaping up with the greens firming up a little but completely benign conditions, scoring should be low again.
