The Masters 2025 Day Two LIVE: Leaderboard and updates as Scottie Scheffler looks to

A birdie on the second sees the US Open champion move into a tie with Aberg, Conners, and Scheffler for second.

Rory’s starting things off with a bang on Moving Day.

A drive into the trees led to an awkward punch shot up against a pine and off the straw.

His approach shot flew beautifully and landed on the green to set up a calm birdie putt for the Irishman to move to one-under on the day.

A little movement at the top sees the field get closer to Rose, but there’s nothing to worry about for him… yet.

10:48 a.m. – Davis Riley, Patton Kizzire

10:59 a.m. – Kevin Yu, Jhonattan Vegas, Nicolai Højgaard

A drive into the bunker forced him to lay-up off the green. A pitch on and two-putt followed and the lead has shrunk to three strokes.

Back-to-back birdies for the South Korean means that his two-under round is tied for the best of the day!

He moves up to three-under for the tournament and ties Bryson and Hatton.

The Englishman had a mixed day on Thursday with three birdies and two bogeys.

Looks like he’s on the same track on Friday. After bogeying the first hole, he hit an eagle on the par-5 second to move to two-under and a tie for seventh.

Saw it out of the corner of my eye and had no clue what was going on, so shout out to Kyle Porter for the explanation.

And the excellent ArtButMakeItSports has already weighed in as well.

We have some newcomers in the tie for seventh as some early tee times start moving up!

McIlroy’s tee shot finds the fairway and he’s off and running in his second round.

A great tee shot from playing partner Ludvig Aberg as well.

Entering the day on the cut line, Homa bogeyed the first to go below the line and is now in danger of missing the third round.

Homa, grouped with Justin Rose and JJ Spaun, now reaches the fourth hole.

…He’d be the second-oldest to ever do it. He’d also be sandwiched between legends.

At age 44, Rose would be roughly two years younger than when Jack Nicklaus took the 1986 Masters.

He’d also be about a year older than Tiger Woods when he won the so-called ‘Return to Glory’ Masters in 2019.

Just a nice little reminder – and a way to say which groupings are off next.

Rose moves up one stroke to extend his lead to four strokes on the rest of the field.

9:58 a.m. – Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Åberg, Akshay Bhatia

Fred Couples, who currently holds the record of oldest golfer to make the cut at the Masters, is in the top 11 with a one-under first round.

He’s two years younger than Langer. But if the German doesn’t make the cut and Couples does, the American could extend his record.

Set to tee off later this morning, German golfer and two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer shot an opening round two-over.

That puts him on the right side of the projected cut line.

This is going to be his last Masters ever. If he somehow makes the cut, he’ll be the oldest player in history to play Saturday and Sunday at the Masters.

His Thursday opening round was fantastic – vaulting him up to within the top-10 at one point before settling on an even par.

Friday? He opens with double bogey, bogey on holes 1 and 2

A tournament synonymous with its occasionally obscure traditions, the Masters has one that may have flown a bit under the radar for some golf fans.

The course hands out crystal to golfers who accomplish certain things throughout their rounds.

It’s been a tradition since 1954 and there are four things that can be done to earn some silverware – er, crystalware?

• The day’s low score gets a crystal vase.
• An eagle receives a pair of crystal goblets.
• A hole-in-one earns a large crystal bowl.
• A double eagle also is rewarded with a large crystal bowl.

9:03 a.m. – Dustin Johnson, Nick Taylor, Justin Hastings (A)

9:14 a.m. – Sergio Garcia, Lucas Glover, Daniel Berger

9:25 a.m. – Patrick Cantlay, Rasmus Højgaard, Matt Fitzpatrick

Yesterday, it was Sergio Garcia’s eyesore that must have been inspired by Ronald McDonald which caught the fashion-focused eyes in the golf world.

Well today, it’s Frenchman Matthieu Pavon who’s wearing… this…

A majority of the groups that have gone off are those below the cut line. Only Rafael Campos has managed to move above the cut and we will likely see more of that later.

The tournament leader pures his drive down the fairway of the first hole for a solid opening shot.

As for his playing partners, Max Homa’s drive goes left and just avoids the second cut while JJ Spaun also hits an incredibly solid drive.

Let’s remind ourselves of where things stand just before the first featured group tees off.

Our experts have analysed the gifts and gadgets you’ll need to drop strokes, gain confidence, and look cool on the course.

It’s gonna be gusty around Augusta!

Winds are set to be high throughout the day and a slight chance of rain in the later afternoon could complicate things for those with later tee times.

According to ESPN, the field is expected to be mowed down to 63 golfers sitting above the cut line of three-over-par.

Some notable names starting their day below that mark:

Danny Willett, Robert MacIntyre, Phil Mickelson, Tony Finau, Jon Rahm, Wyndham Clark, Billy Horschel, Adam Scott, Sepp Straka

This is the sportsbook’s current odds for who will win the tournament

The tournament leader gets ‘featured group’ status as all eyes will turn to Justin Rose to see if he can go wire-to-wire at Augusta.

8:52 a.m. – Max Homa, Justin Rose, J.J. Spaun

9:58 a.m. – Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Åberg, Akshay Bhatia

1:01 p.m. – Collin Morikawa, Joaquín Niemann, Min Woo Lee

1:23 p.m. – Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Jose Luis Ballester (A)

7:40 a.m. – Cameron Davis, Rafael Campos, Austin Eckroat

7:51 a.m. – Angel Cabrera, Laurie Canter, Adam Schenk

8:02 a.m. – José María Olazábal, Thriston Lawrence, Brian Campbell

8:13 a.m. – Bubba Watson, Matthieu Pavon, Evan Beck (A)

8:24 a.m. – Tom Hoge, Matt McCarty, Christiaan Bezuidenhout

It’s one of the most expensive secondary-market tickets in all of sports, so getting to go to Augusta even once must be a truly life-changing experience for golf fans.

Judging by some of the attire from the patrons seen in the photos below, this isn’t the first rodeo for a couple of people.

Just a few days ago, McIlroy was asked about Collin Morikawa refusing to speak to the media after the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The Irishman defended his fellow golfer, saying ‘He’s right’ adding that other pro athletes are ‘obligated to speak’ to the media after contests and ‘We’re not.’

Well, after a Thursday even par performance that has him staring at a steep hill to climb if he wants to try and complete a career grand slam this week, McIlroy skipped out on the media in Augusta.

Read more on why he did so and the backlash he received below:

Augusta seems ripe and ready for some glorious conditions on Friday.

For those attending, it’ll be a fantastic day of memory-making.

And it’s a rough start for Cameron Davis. He’s right on the cut line to start the second round, but a bogey on 1 leaves him struggling on +3 for the tournament. Austin Eckroat is even further back, and has also bogeyed – leaving him on +5 overall.

There’s some dodgy weather forecast for later in the day, too, so some of these earlier groups may need to take advantage of the weather.

Max Homa had an awkward moment during his first round at the Masters yesterday, inadvertently smashing the ball into a caddie standing near the green. ‘Come on dude’, was his response, angrily berating the man… but whose fault was it? Homa or the caddie? You decide!

Yesterday was a *slightly* slower start in terms of big names getting out on the course, but that’s certainly not the case today. Here’s a few of the heavy-hitters that are already at Augusta National and heading out on the course soon:

8:52am: Justin Rose, Max Homa

9:25am: Matt Fitzpatrick, Patrick Cantlay

9:47am: Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland

9:58am: Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Akshay Bhatia

Let’s take a look at exactly how the top 10 or so players line up as we get set for day two at Augusta National…

T2: Ludvig Aberg, Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler (-4)

T5: Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton (-3)

T7: Akshay Bhatia, Aaron Rai, Harris English, Jason Day (-2)

Here’s the report from our man at the course, Riath Al-Samarrai:

Good morning all, and welcome along to Day 2 at the Masters. We’ve got another bumper day of action again today, with tee times beginning at 7:40am.

First out are Cameron Davis, Rafael Campos and Austin Eckroat, but first of all let’s take a look at what happened yesterday…
