A crowded leaderboard
Simply put, tournament favorites and 2022 champions Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Max Homa are tied at 6 under, with three star players tied for the lead.
DeChambeau had a chance to shoot a 67 in the first round, but high winds prevented him from doing so, and he shot a 73 in the second round. Homa increased his lead by two strokes with a 71, but Scheffler’s even round kept DeChambeau at bay.
In fact, it was a tough day overall, with the lowest score on Friday being a 69 by Ludwig Aberg. He was the only one to break 70 that day.
That’s why I’m saying there’s a chance…
Tiger Woods made his 24th consecutive appearance at Augusta National, setting a new record. In the first two rounds, he finished with a record of 73 wins and 72 losses, finishing 1 over and tied for 22nd place.
Did you get 7 strokes back? Something even stranger happened.
And, as Woods himself said, “I’m still on the ballgame and have a good chance going into the weekend.”
If Tiger Woods says he has a chance, he has a chance.

Jordan Spieth’s disastrous quadruple bogey leads to worst round at Masters
Is Masters Madness coming?
most likely. Saturday is always a travel day and the weather is expected to be even better on Saturday.
It rained on the first day and it was windy on the second day, forcing almost everyone to tone down their aggression.
Saturday, however, will be sunny with temperatures in the mid-70s (the final round’s high was 86 degrees). There were no low scores in the second round, but no one should be surprised if he returns this weekend.
But just to be clear, the Masters doesn’t start until Sunday’s back nine.
LIV is not very lively
There were 13 LIV golfers in the 89-player field, but DeChambeau was an underwhelming performance for the other 10 LIV golfers. It’s nothing compared to last year, when Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson finished T2 and Patrick Reed finished T4.

The only other LIV golfers with similar or better results are Cameron Smith (-1, T8) and Reed (E, T15). Defending champion Jon Rahm made the cut at +5 (the line ended up being +6, a lot of saves), but five of the 13 drivers, including four past green jacket winners, People missed it. Sergio Garcia (+7, T61), Bubba Watson (+10, T77), Charl Schwartzel (+11, 81), Dustin Johnson (+13, T85), Adrian Melonk (+14, T87).
If Liv wants to show he can still compete in the majors, DeChambeau will need to take the league back, barring the crazy moves of Smith and Reed, who won this tournament in 2018.
