Augusta, Ga. – Justin Rose He did enough to keep the leadership Friday in Masters, only suddenly he has a lot of company for the weekend in Augusta National.
Bryson Brazambeau He became the only player with consecutive Sub-70 wheels and got into one shot and put it in the final group. It was right behind Rory McILroywho tried to erase from his memory, which the sloppy surface in the first round in the first round and yelled into the dispute to return his career Grand Slam back in sight.
Scottie Scheffler He founded his defense of the title 24 straight holes without Bogey. Then he made five bogeys in the last 12 holes to slow his progress. It was just three shots.
“The pointer album is very positive on what looks like world-class players,” Rose said after his 1-UNG 71, which represented Birdie on Par 5s on the front nine and Par 3 with nine.
“So you have to play a great golf and you will have to go out and want it and go for it and get for it,” he said. “It’s really so simple.”
Rose took three-shot lead to the second round and had the advantage of playing early before the wind became strong enough to catch the flags and create only so much indecision.
On Par-3 12. He hit 9-Železo over Rae’s Creek for 4 feet for birdies and stuffed the tee on par-3 16. For the next birdie. This allowed him to atone for several mistakes.
He was on 8-under 136, for the third time, when he had a 36-disc on the Masters.
The earth came from behind him.
Brazambeau picked up an unlikely birdie by holding him on his way to the front nine, holding him on Rose’s Heels for the rest of the way. He ended with 68 for his best start ever in Masters.
“That’s golf about that,” Boshbeau said. “I have a lot of great names there and I’m looking forward to an incredible golf test.”
And then there was McIlroy, who had two double bogeys on Thursday, the last frustrating chapter for him at Masters. This time he managed to forget it and move on. Birdie-Birdie-Par-Eagle went to start nine and be on the way to Bogey without 66.
“I had to remind myself that I was playing well,” McILroy said. “I couldn’t let the two bad holes dictate the story of the 16 good. I also had to remind myself this morning to not push too soon.”
Corey Conners Canada compiled 70 quietly and joined McIlroy for 6-below 138.
Group Three Shots included Scheffler (71), former British Open Champion Shane Lowry (68) and Tyrrell Hattonwho got into one shot of Rose up to a pair of three putts. One of them made u-turn down the hill on the 16th place. The second was sleepy copying that went.
This is formed on a wide open weekend, led by 44 -year -olds from England, who left a dozen years since the victory of his only Major at the US Open 2013. Rose spoke about finding another section of magic last year and waiting for the opportunity.
This is also the case for Brazambeau, Master of the US Open; For McIlroy, a sentimental favorite of so many people on Augusta National, trying to get the last stage of career Grand Slam; For Scheffler, who coped with a lot of stress, the course gave it on Friday.
“This is the company I expect, and there I tried to be my whole career,” Rose said. “I have been a TOP-10 player in the world for ten years or more. So yeah it’s nice to be back in that mix.”
The cut was on 2-over 146, which meant the end of the 67-year-old Bernhard LangerMasters’ career. He needed to make 10 feet par on the last hole to tick the right side of the cup.
Five -time main champion Brooks Koepka Maybe he had the most shocking departure. He was in good shape and needed Bogey 18 .. He made a four-time bogey, starting with the tee shot into the trees and the ending three-pullt out of 10 feet.
Now the attention moves back to the summit, where 16 players were separated by five shots within the last two days.
Rose is on top of the ranking for the tenth rounds in Augusta, without a green jacket that would show up. He will try to become the second oldest 44 player to win the green jacket behind Jack Nicklaus (46) in the mystical champion of 1986.
