News about Masters

"Absolutely the right number." Yes, yes it was. Another kick-in birdie for Schauffele to get to red figures. pic.twitter.com/FoVQ7lyZfR

I’m always amazed at how much changing par changes the narrative. The leading score after two rounds at the Masters this year was 138 (I know it was windy). The leading score after two rounds at Pinehurst this year is going to be 136 or better. You rarely (never?) hear the same…

Xander Schauffele is dialed with his iron play today, leading the early wave in round 2 currently in strokes gained approach. Schauffele has already hit more greens in regulation today (9-for-13) than he did in all of the opening round (8-for-18).

Scottie Scheffler has been over par for the day since his bogey at 3. He entered today having played 21 holes all season when over par in a tournament. He was not over par at any point at Maui, AmEx, Riviera, Houston, the Masters, RBC Heritage, PGA or Memorial.
