Scotty Scheffler offers his thoughts on his performance on Friday

Since Bryson DeChambeau first made his mark on the world of golf, the “Mad Scientist” has always done things his own unique way. Whether through his meticulous studies of golf theory and obsessive desire to break down the mechanics of a perfect swing, or his unparalleled commitment to the “bulking season” and an unprecedented physical transformation that added more power to his brutal drive, he left California. He left no stone unturned in his relentless pursuit of perfection across 18 holes.

His best start ever at the Masters, a 7-under-par lead in the second round on Friday, was perhaps the clearest sign yet that DeChambeau is about to reap the rewards of his hard work. DeChambeau is already a major champion, coming off a dominant six-shot victory in the 2020 US Open at Winged Foot, but the 30-year-old showed a different side to his game when he put together an opening-round 65. Can DeChambeau beat Augusta? National and taming the danger lurking behind the quiet corner of Amen?

But it takes more than just a strong drive to become a Masters champion, and DeChambeau learned that the hard way.

Golf legend Bernhard Langer He confirmed that he now expects to play Gentlemen For the last time in 2025 following the two-time champion's original plan This week's swansong Cruelly crashed after rupturing his Achilles tendon in February.

“Most likely, but I have not announced that yet,” Langer said when asked by Reuters whether the 2025 edition would be his last participation in the Masters tournament. “I hope so, but it all depends on how the recovery goes.”

Negotiations are ongoing between PGA Tour and LIV backers in Saudi Arabia about a potential partnership but for now all eyes will be on the track as Rahm and his fellow Rebels take on those remaining on the tour.

Among them is 2022 winner Scotty Scheffler, the dominant player in men's golf this year and the favorite to win.

Here's everything you need to know:

Tiger Woods completed 23 holes in one day to make a record 24th straight Masters Tournament on another windy day at Augusta National.

Woods had to shield his face from sand blowing up from the bunkers on the 18th before scoring par to add a second round of 72 to his opening 73, a stunning effort that drew a standing ovation from spectators around the green.

“I've been fortunate enough to be able to play this event all these years,” Woods told ESPN.

“I missed the cut as an amateur, but as a professional I did well. It's just an amazing aura that Augusta National has and I've been lucky enough to come here since I was 19.”

Bryson DeChambeau took over organizing duties himself, as he continued his quest for a second major title at the 88th Masters.

DeChambeau added a second round of 73 to his opening 65 at windswept Augusta National, with one of the former U.S. Open champion's three birdies coming up in an unorthodox fashion on the 13th.

After his shot hit the trees, DeChambeau elected to hit his second shot toward the adjacent 14th fairway, but not before taking it upon himself to remove a large sign.

“Yes, I picked up the signal. I was trying to direct people. Trying to get people to go to the bathrooms,” DeChambeau joked in his post-tour news conference.
