Scottie Schleffer lopes up the golf green, trying sad with life. He bought surprisingly achieved in final week’s Matchplay, and his placing is just not as dead-eyed as it may be. Koepka in the meantime, appears nicely on it, and on 15, punches in a pitch that provides him an opportunity of a 3, an eagle. A birdie must do. No person can do it higher in the intervening time. Particularly not Rory. Extra physique language as he drops one other. He’s 4 over for the day, 4 over for the Masters and his pilot most likely wants to start out eager about the route residence. Jason Day, on 11, thought he may get a shot nearer, just for his putt to expire of fuel.
-12: Koepka (15)
-8: Day (11), Hovland, Rahm
-5: Morikawa (9), Bennett (8), Burns (7), Younger
So, solely a day and a half into it, and the sector is having to chase exhausting, and that might imply bother. And errors. Dustin Johnson has simply missed a giant putt on the ninth. He’s at -1. Justin Rose slots a pleasant birdie to go -4, an extended correct putt, studying the inexperienced nicely. Bernhard Langer, together with his time-honoured belly-putter – extra a chest-putter lately – misses a birdie putt at 14. His weekend appears unlikely to incorporate grand slam golf at this stage.
John Brewin
Moving into some large footwear right here however right here goes nothing, with Brooks Koepka totally within the swing of issues and Rory Rorrying away.
KH Lee’s aforementioned quick begin (see 2.39pm BST) quickly went south, with consecutive bogeys at 5 and 6. However he’s rebuilt his spherical with nice dedication, choosing up pictures at 9, 10 and now 13 to maneuver again as much as -2. Together with Brooks Koepka, he’s the most well liked property on the market as we speak, at 4 below for his spherical.
Talking of sizzling properties, right here’s John Brewin to take you thru the following hour of play. See you once more quickly!
On the different finish of the spectrum, Brooks Koepka takes two putts from the again of the inexperienced at 13 to increase his result in 4 strokes. In the meantime Sam Burns rattles in a 15-foot birdie effort on 6 to maintain on the tail of Brooks et al. Newest chief board? Right here you might be!
-11: Koepka (13)
-7: Day (9), Hovland, Rahm
-5: Morikawa (7), Burns (6), Spieth (5), Younger
Scottie Scheffler turns into the most recent participant to see his tee shot on the par-three sixth topple down the slope working by the centre of the inexperienced, miles away to the left of the flag. His 70-foot putt finally ends up eight ft previous, however he coolly slots the one coming again to stay at -3. Rory McIlroy subsequent, and he chuckles self-consciously as he repeats Scheffler’s mistake from the tee. Nonetheless his putt, from 60 ft, is a blood-rushing abomination, racing 20 ft previous the flag. He can’t make the one coming again, and one more stroke goes. He smiles wryly for the umpteenth time this week. He’s +3 and now battling to outlive the lower. As issues stand, he’s one shot exterior it.
Bounceback birdie for Jason Day! He cracks his drive at 9 down the center, sends his second to 13 ft, then steers within the downhill putt he leaves himself. He rejoins the as-yet inactive pair of Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm in second place at -7. That’s presently three behind the chief, however Brooks Koepka has simply crashed a drive down the Tiger line at 13, tight on the left, practically making it across the nook. He practically slam-dunks his second in for a Jeff Maggert-esque albatross, however his ball topples off the again of the inexperienced. He’ll nonetheless have a chip, possibly a putt, for eagle, and also you’d anticipate him to rise up and down for birdie at the very least given the way in which he’s enjoying.
An unpleasant double bogey for Dustin Johnson on 7. Out of place from the tee, and wanting the inexperienced in two, he chunks a chip right into a bunker, then having splashed out, misses a tiddler for bogey. The 2020 champion slips again to stage par. The lower is presently projected at +2, although there’s a good likelihood the climate will help in transferring that additional out.
Brooks Koepka can’t make his birdie putt, one more effort shaving the outlet. However he faucets in for a par at one in all Augusta’s hardest checks, and the 2 par fives are looming. On Sky, commentator Ewen Murray remembers the time Louis Oosthuizen bought the very best of the draw on the weather-affected 2010 Open and established an unassailable lead. “When Koepka has that ‘too cool for college’ swagger, the remainder of the gamers are seemingly simply alongside for the trip,” notes Joe Pearson … who is just not essentially incorrect, however fairly just a few large names may have one thing to say about that, not least 2015 champ Jordan Spieth who has simply adopted up birdie at 2 with one other at 3.
-10: Koepka (12)
-7: Hovland, Rahm
-6: Day (8)
-5: Morikawa (6), Spieth (3), Younger
Brooks Koepka reveals no indicators of nerves or doubt. Netflix Brooks all gone! He eases his tee shot on the mind-boggling par-three twelfth over the flag and stops it useless. He’ll have a 15-foot take a look at birdie and a four-stroke lead over Viktor Hovland and Jon Rahm in second spot. No Jason Day there, although; he nearly whiffs a lob as much as the eighth inexperienced, and the error results in a bogey that drops him again to -6. Koepka eagled that one, you’ll recall.
Rory McIlroy pulls his tee shot on the par-three 4th over the again of the inexperienced. A beautiful chip up threatens to trace all the way in which to the outlet and drop, however it stops one flip quick. So near a birdie that will have given him some much-needed change of momentum, however a technique or one other, it’s simply not taking place for Rory round Augusta. He stays at +2, and appears simply as annoyed as he did when transport strokes at 2 and three.
A primary dropped shot of the match by Sam Bennett. The record-breaking 22-year-old newbie sends his tee shot at 4 over the again of the inexperienced. A barely heavy handed chip leaves him an excessive amount of to do from 11 ft. He slips again to -4.
Rory McIlroy is in severe hazard of changing into an entire non-event. If he retains on the way in which he’s going, he gained’t be making the lower. Having bogeyed 2, he bumbles a careless chip over the inexperienced at 3, and he can’t rise up and all the way down to salvage his par. He’s +2 and discuss of the profession slam can wait one other 12 months.
Birdie for Jordan Spieth at 2. His enjoying companions Tony Finau and Tommy Fleetwood additionally make one. They’re -4, -4 and -1 respectively. Fleetwood’s birdie was the decide when it comes to pure leisure: a tee shot flayed into the timber down the left, a tremendous percentage-playing second directed into the bunker on the entrance of the inexperienced, a godawful splash out, and a 20-foot putt rattled into the centre of the cup. Southport’s best has been mooching alongside this week with out making too many waves, however he’s removed from out of this.
One other gap, one other large birdie alternative for Brooks Koepka. He screws his strategy at 10 over the flag and again to eight ft. His tickled putt down the treacherous inexperienced stubbornly stays excessive on the left. Only a par, an nearly equivalent story to 9. For the sake of a few millimetres right here and there, Koepka would now be 5 clear. As it’s, his lead is simply – simply! – three strokes.
-10: Koepka (10)
-7: Day (7), Hovland, Rahm
-5: Morikawa (4), Bennett -a- (3), Burns (2), Younger
-4: Woodland (10), Finau (2), Lowry, Schauffele, Scott
McIlroy and Scheffler take turns to noticeably underhit their putts. Each sink the testing knee-knockers that stay, however that’s a bogey for McIlroy at 2 and par for Scheffler at 3. They’re +1 and -3 respectively, and neither seem in a superb way of thinking. In a happier place: Collin Morikawa, who follows up a birdie at 2 with a uncommon birdie at 4. Impulsively, the 2020 PGA and 2021 Open champion is -5.
A few very careless chips by a pair of world-class superstars. On 2, Rory McIlroy, over the again of the inexperienced in three, tries to be too cute and solely simply reaches the perimeter. Except he sinks a 20-foot putt, he’ll be dropping a shot on a gap that was averaging 4.6 yesterday. In the meantime on 3, Scottie Scheffler additionally fluffs his traces, his ball solely simply refusing to topple again down the massive slope on the entrance of the inexperienced. He’ll have two putts from 25 ft to avoid wasting par.
Brooks Koepka appears like he can do little incorrect. He sends his wedge into 9 over the flag and spins it again, pin excessive, to eight ft. However his birdie putt turns to the left on the final, and one way or the other fails to topple into the cup. He stays at -10. Does that missed putt qualify as doing incorrect? Not likely. By the way, a pleasant stat courtesy of Sky Sports activities: Koepka is the quickest participant to achieve double figures below par since Jordan Spieth in 2015. Spieth did it in 23 holes; Koepka has taken a relatively slothful 26. Oh Brooks! How may you be so indolent!
Scottie Scheffler missed a collection of putts excessive on the left yesterday. He’s as much as the identical tips once more as we speak. A really makeable ten footer on 2 slips by, and there goes a giant birdie likelihood. He stays at -3, and the defending champion stomps off chuntering away to himself in irritation. Not a superb signal from a participant who usually exudes a supernatural supercool.
Koepka isn’t the one one making large par saves. Jason Day finds the sand down the left of 5, a no-no from the tee. He’s pressured to put up. However he screeches his strategy from 150 yards to seven ft, attacking a flag positioned atop a slim plateau. His bravery pays dividends, and he rolls within the putt to stay at -7. In the meantime Justin Rose palms again the shot he picked up a 2, failing to carry the inexperienced at 3 together with his chip up, a mistake that results in bogey. He’s again to -3.
… er, make that 5 off the lead! Brooks Koepka batters two large ones into the center of the par-five eighth inexperienced. He’s pin excessive, dealing with a reasonably straight 13-footer for eagle. No trouble. In it goes! Keep in mind that Netflix collection? The place did that Brooks Koepka, wracked by harm, doubt and self-loathing, go? Undecided. However he’s gone!
-10: Koepka (8)
-7: Day (4), Hovland, Rahm
-5: Bennett -a- (1), Younger
The massive story of Thursday was arguably the hassle of 22-year-old Texan Sam Bennett. The primary newbie to finish the primary day within the prime ten since Ryan Moore in 2005, his entrance 9 of 32 was the bottom recorded by an newbie in Masters historical past. He completed up with a blemish-free 68, and he’s wasted no time in constructing on that this morning. An strategy at 1 into the guts of the inexperienced, adopted by a 20-foot putt that bought the gallery correctly going for the primary time this morning. If Augusta had a roof, it might presently be coptering over North Carolina. Bennett strikes to -5, simply three off the lead!
Rory McIlroy is out and about. If his opening drive is something to go by, he’ll be ensuring as we speak that he gained’t die questioning. He opens the outdated shoulders and completely leathers his tee shot down the center. A softly-softly strategy didn’t do him an excessive amount of good yesterday. In the meantime up on the inexperienced, Scottie Scheffler can’t make his lengthy par putt and slips again to -3.
Jason Day clips his tee shot at 4 to fifteen ft. Had he given his light right-to-left sliding putt another joule of power, he’d have made a 3rd birdie in succession. As it’s, the par retains him at -7. The November 2020 champion Dustin Johnson birdies 2 to rise to -2. And there’s bother on the opening gap for the defending champ Scottie Scheffler, who sends his 3-wood into the timber down the correct, then finds a bunker to the left of the inexperienced, and upon forking out catches a downslope that takes his ball on a pointy right-hand flip, 30 ft from the outlet. Massive lengthy par putt arising.
Gary Woodland, having taken one step ahead early within the spherical, takes his second step again. He follows up that bogey at 5 with a careless one at 7, practically flying the inexperienced from a greenside bunker, a mistake that he can’t rectify by rolling within the lengthy par saver. He drops to -3. Passing him the opposite method: the 2017 runner-up Justin Rose, who birdies the par-five 2nd to maneuver to -4.
Yep! In goes Jason Day’s birdie putt on 3, and the 2011 runner-up strikes right into a tie for second.
-8: Koepka (6)
-7: Day (3), Hovland, Rahm
-5: Younger
-4: Woodland (6), Scheffler, Bennett (a), Burns, Lowry, Schauffele, Scott
We spoke earlier: don’t doubt Brooks Koepka. He rolls his 64-foot putt at 6 up over the slope to 6 ft. In goes the par putt. Koepka saunters off having not damaged a single bead of sweat. He stays at -8. In the meantime again on the par-five 2nd, Jason Day finds the guts of the inexperienced in two large swipes, then practically drains a 60-footer for eagle. He’ll make do with birdie that strikes him as much as -6 … and he may quickly be transferring even nearer to the chief Koepka, having simply chipped his second on the quick par-four third to a few ft.
A brutal begin to the second spherical for Tyrrell Hatton. The 31-year-old from Excessive Wycombe completed second behind Scottie Scheffler on the Gamers final month, taking pictures 29 on the again 9 on Sunday, a match report. A gap spherical of 71 yesterday may have given him additional encouragement for this week; nevertheless he’s simply traversed Tea Olive just like the Keystone Kops of their Ford Mannequin T. Zig-zagging from the timber on the left to the gallery on the correct, then flubbing a chip, he finally ends up with a double-bogey six and drops again to +1 general. Hey, a farcical begin to the spherical didn’t do Jon Rahm any hurt yesterday. That’s what Hatton, one other infamous hot-head, might want to inform himself.
Bother for the chief Brooks Koepka on the par-three sixth. He pitches his tee shot ten ft to the left of the flag. Downside is, the spin takes his ball again and to the left, then down a slope that takes his ball 64 ft from the flag. The tremendous margins at Augusta Nationwide. One other large par save arising?
A step backwards for Gary Woodland. From the centre of the fifth fairway, he sends his iron quick and proper of the inexperienced. He spins and waves his membership by 360 levels in wild anger, then overhits a 55-foot putt from the perimeter. He misses the one coming again, and drops to -4. Par for his associate Koepka, whose caddie might or might not have been counting Woodland’s pictures: “5.”
KH Lee is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, each of his victories coming on the AT&T Byron Nelson. However he’s achieved completely nothing of notice within the majors. He debuted at Augusta final 12 months, solely to overlook the lower, however he appears in good condition to make it this week, opening his spherical as we speak with birdies at 1, 2 and now 4. After a disappointing 74 yesterday, that lifts the 31-year-old South Korean to -1 for the match. Byron Nelson, only for the report, gained the Masters in 1937 and 1942.
One other street-fighting up and down for Brooks Koepka. His tee shot on the par-three 4th solely simply creeps over the bunker guarding the entrance of the inexperienced, and his putt from the perimeter isn’t all that. He leaves himself a testing six-footer, however rolls one other par saver into the cup, and stays at -8. In the meantime on Sky, the European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald offers his verdict on the principles controversy surrounding Koepka and his caddie Ricky Elliott, who yesterday was caught on digital camera saying “5” to Gary Woodland and his caddie simply after hitting a 5-iron into the guts of the fifteenth inexperienced. “It did appear fairly clear that there was some data given,” says Donald. “That one appeared clear … you’ve bought to take the phrase of Brooks and Ricky.” And certainly that’s what the Masters committee have achieved. The ruling: no breach of the principles.
The climate, then. Thunderstorms are anticipated as we speak round 1pm in Augusta (6pm BST) and will final for 3 or 4 hours. There may very well be just a few spots of rain earlier than that, too. So don’t guess the farm on the second spherical being accomplished as we speak. Saturday shouldn’t be affected by thunderstorms, however it is going to be chilly and really wet. Sunday ought to be first rate sufficient, however regardless of that, and the flowery sub-air system designed to suck moisture from the turf, plans are being put in place simply in case Monday end is required for the primary time since 1983. A lot will rely on how lengthy as we speak’s anticipated storm delay lasts, and the way heavy and constant the rain is tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Extra idiot me for doubting the temperature of the blood in Brooks Koepka’s veins. His lob up from the again of three is delicate sufficient, touchdown softly on the perimeter, but nonetheless rolls ten ft previous the cup. Irrespective of, as a result of he rolls within the right-to-left slider, useless weight, and blows out in reduction as he secures his par. He stays in sole possession of the lead at -8. With the climate threatening to combine all the things up – extra on that quickly, promise – Koepka has spoken of his need to take as a lot benefit of his early begin and the milder situations whereas he can: “I don’t suppose my rating actually offers me a lot of a bonus. Perhaps my tee time with the climate arising, I would be capable of squeak out just a few extra holes than everyone else earlier than it begins dumping. That’s most likely the most important benefit I’ve bought going for me proper now.”
Extra excellent news for LIV fanatics! Phil Mickelson sinks a 30-footer on the first for birdie. He strikes to -2. However as Greg Norman’s tanks put together to trundle over the manicured greens of Augusta Nationwide, a doable setback on 3, the place Brooks Koepka chips up from the underside of the financial institution on the quick par-four, solely to bundle his ball over the inexperienced and down the swale on the opposite facet. Nonetheless an opportunity to rise up and down to avoid wasting his par, however there’s not plenty of inexperienced to play with, so he’s bought a job on right here.
Good morning Augusta! The very first thing to say … earlier than we begin harping on concerning the incoming climate … is that now we have a brand new chief of the Masters. Brooks Koepka, who completed runner-up right here in 2019 and is a four-time main winner – let’s not outline him solely by the tour he’s on – has birdied 2 to maneuver a shot away from his in a single day co-leaders Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland. That’s courtesy of his birdie on the par-five 2nd. He despatched his strategy right into a bunker to the correct of the inexperienced, and left himself a downhill lie, however splashed out to eight ft and made the putt. He’s going spherical with the 2019 US Open champion Gary Woodland, who additionally birdied 2 to maneuver right into a tie for fourth. Motion already!
