Hole-by-hole report: Join Scott Murray for live updates from day two at Augusta National
Anyway, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are out in a minute.His chip up isn’t all that, breaking 12 feet to the left of the pin. He can’t make the par saver, and it’s now a four-way tie for the lead, because on 14, Nicolai Hojgaard sends his second from 150 yards to seven feet, and in goes the birdie putt.
That’s Sky’s Andrew Coltart on Bryson DeChambeau replicating his awful stroke on the previous par three. This hollow clank, on 6, turns a good birdie opportunity into par. DeChambeau remains at -6.It’s the painful punishment for pulling his approach into the middle of the pond to the left of the green. He slips to -2, and now there’s a little bit of separation between the top four and the chasing pack.That wipes out a bogey at 11, and the young Dane is holding on during an up-and-down round.
But he gets up and down to save his par. Meanwhile birdie for Nicolai Hojgaard on 9, as eagle-eyed readers will have already worked out from the leader board. And there’s been another bogey for Cameron Davis, this time at 13.Three bogeys on the bounce, at 5, 6 and 7, send the French debutant clattering down the standings to -1. Meanwhile Collin Morikawa hands a shot back at 4; he’s also -1.
He wedges his third to 12 feet, and is somewhat unlucky not to get more backspin, but the ball stubbornly digs its heels in. He tries to salvage par with a tickle down the green, but it’s always missing short and to the left. He taps in for an opening bogey, but flashes a genuine smile as he talks to his caddie nonetheless. Looks like he’s enjoying himself. He’s -3.One of the tee shots of the week at the par-three 6th, to eight feet, earns him his third birdie of his second round.
