But it drifts a little to the right just before reaching the cup, enough to kink out. That really did look like it was going in. So he remains at -3 for both his round and the Tournament overall. He\u2019s no longer the only player out there in red for his round today: Im Sungjae, who finished second on debut in the November Masters of 2020, birdies 7 and 8 to move into credit today \u2013 he\u2019s +3 overall \u2013 while the old trooper Freddie Couples birdies 2 to get back to +5. Such a shame about that hideous run at 15, 16 and 17 yesterday &#8211; quadruple bogey, double bogey, double bogey \u2013 but you can forgive a 66-year-old for running out of gas under the heat of the late-afternoon sun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Par 3 Contest winner Aaron Rai starts his second round calmly and confidently.<\/strong> Tea Olive found in regulation, and a long birdie putt that shaves the hole. He remains at -1 after yesterday\u2019s 71, a round that promised more after going out in 33. Meanwhile Wyndham Clark\u2019s run of consecutive birdies comes to an end at 5. Just a par, though he\u2019s now landed his tee shot at 6 into the heart of the green, using the slope to bring his ball towards the flag tucked away front left. He\u2019ll have a good look at birdie from 18 feet, a putt not exactly flat and straight, but as flat and straight as they come around here.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/apr\/10\/the-masters-2026-day-two-golf-updates-from-augusta-national-live\">Continue reading&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufe0f Latest news from the second round at Augusta National\ufe0f Official leaderboard | Follow us on Bluesky | Mail Scott Wyndham Clark\u2019s birdie putt at 6 looks good.
