The Masters 2024 LIVE: Leaderboard and latest updates as Scottie Scheffler ties Bryson DeChambeau after Tiger Woods sets consecutive cuts record

The wind is howling out there right now and Bryson will be looking forward to getting in the clubhouse now. There’s a chance for one more birdie, though, after a stellar drive and chip on the par-4 17th but his putt just hangs out on the high side and doesn’t drop.

Still a good par and only one hole remaining.

Oh, Danny. Just one more good swing off the tee was needed but he’s sliced that one way left into the trees down the right side. He punches out into the sand but from there it goes from bad to worse.

Too much sand with the first effort and the ball stays in the bunker. Too little sand with the second attempt and it flies long off the pin. The first putt rolls past the pin and the 2016 champion can’t make the come-backer.

He taps in for a gutwrenching triple bogey to drop back to -1 for the tournament. It’s still a remarkable first two days for the Englishman but that will leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

Wind? Wrong club? Who knows but Bryson airmails the 16th green and lands amongst the patrons. Hopefully, nobody was hurt but the American responds in superb style to get up and down to save his par.

Scheffler -7 (10), McIlroy +1 (10), Schauffele E (10)

Scottie Scheffler at his brutal best. Driver, wedge, tap-in birdie on one of Augusta’s hardest holes. Simply magical from the world no.1 who ties DeChambeau at the top.

McIlroy has an equally good opportunity from slightly further back but leaves his putt on the high side. Another missed putt and the frustration is clear to see. Schauffele saves his par superbly after a wild second shot.

The American lays up on the par-5 15th but sees his curling left-to-right birdie effort just evade the cup. So close to a bounce-back birdie for the tournament leader.

Fitzpatrick -2 (10), Rahm +3 (10)

Another steady par for the Englishman – he’s one under par for his round today and right in the mix. Rahm, though, can’t get anything going and the Spaniard cuts a frustrated figure again as his birdie effort comes up agonisingly short.

Not the defence he would have wanted so far.

Scheffler -6 (9), McIlroy +1 (9), Schauffele E (9)

A disappointing effort from McIlroy, he’s straight up and out of it and knows what a waste that was. A two-over-par 38 on the front nine and work to do in the next couple of hours.

Scheffler, meanwhile, shows his short-game prowess with a perfectly judged chip to save par. Schauffele makes a par, too and this group has made the turn.

Scheffler -6 (8), McIlroy +1 (8), Schauffele E (8)

Even the World No.1 can fall victim to the sloping green at the ninth as he sees his ball come trickling back down off the front. He’s got work to do to save his par.

McIlroy, meanwhile, gives himself a great look at birdie as he gets his chip spot on. How he’d love to convert that.

Tiger Woods completed 23 holes in a day to make a record 24th consecutive cut in the Masters on another windswept day at Augusta National.

Woods had to shield his face from sand whipped from the bunkers on the 18th before tapping in for par to add a second round of 72 to his opening 73, a remarkable effort which prompted a standing ovation from the spectators around the green.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to play this event for all these years,” Woods told ESPN.

“I did miss the cut as an amateur, but as a pro I’ve done well. It’s just an amazing aura that Augusta National has and I’ve been lucky enough coming here since I was 19 years old.”

Fleetwood -1 (71), Morikawa -3 (70)

Two stellar shots into the 18th from these two stellar iron players. Both make the most of it to end with birdies and they are nicely positioned heading into the weekend.
