Two rounds of the Masters are complete, and it’s a star-studded leaderboard.
Veteran Justin Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion, leads the event at 8-under par. Bryson DeChambeau, the reigning U.S. Open champion sits one shot behind, while Rory McIlroy is two strokes behind.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is three behind Rose, and other contenders include Corey Conners (6 under), Shane Lowry (5 under), Tyrell Hatton (5 under), Viktor Hovland (4 under) and Collin Morikawa (3 under), among others. Here’s the full top five of the leaderboard after two rounds:
1. Justin Rose, -8
2. Bryson DeChambeau, -7
T3. Rory McIlroy, -6
T3. Corey Conners, -6
T5. Scottie Scheffler, -5
T5. Tyrell Hatton, -5
T5. Shane Lowry, -5
T5. Matt McCarty, -5
It’s McIlroy who now sits as the betting favorite at FanDuel after a bounce-back 66. He was 4-under par through 14 holes Thursday before a pair of double bogeys threatened to derail his entire week. He responded with the best round of all 95 competitors Friday, making four birdies, an eagle and zero bogeys.
“I just had to remind myself that I played really good golf yesterday, and you know, I wasn’t going to let two — you know, two bad holes sort of dictate the narrative for the rest of the week,” McIlroy said.
