Brooks Koepka’s sprint to the top of the board elicits all the familiar feelings he gave us in his incredible major run a few years back. Meanwhile, Collin Morikawa has flipped the script in his last three rounds around Augusta. JustinRayGolf has more:
The man with the second-best score among those in the clubhouse is Sam Bennett, the reigning U.S. Amateur champion. For the second day in a row, Bennett missed just one fairway, hit 13 greens in regulation and carded a score of 68. At 8-under, Bennett has the best 36-hole score to par by an amateur in any men’s major championship since Ken Venturi was 9-under through two rounds at Augusta National in 1956.
Morikawa has improved his finish each time he’s come to the Masters: T-44 in his debut, to T-18 in 2021, to a fifth-place finish last year. He, along with Koepka, can get the third leg of the career grand slam with a victory this week.Jon Rahm is currently the closest man on the board to Koepka, three shots back with nine holes left in his second round. Rahm began this week with a double bogey, but has not dropped a shot since, making par or better on each of his last 26 holes played.
Mickelson isn’t the only player age 50-plus having a good week: at 63, Fred Couples is well inside the cut line with just one hole to play in his second round. Couples just needs to avoid catastrophe on the 18th hole when play resumes to become the oldest player in Masters history to make the cut.Another former world number one, Rory McIlroy, won’t be seeing the weekend. McIlroy shot a disastrous 77 on Friday, ending this year’s bid to complete the career grand slam.
