Scheffler shares lead as McIlroy, Rahm struggle at windy Augusta
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler continues to be the frontrunner for victory at The Masters, having moved into a share of the halfway lead at Augusta National. Despite challenging conditions with strong winds, Scheffler managed to card a level-par 72 to stay at six under, joining Ryder Cup teammate Max Homa and overnight leader Bryson DeChambeau in a three-way tie at the top.
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods etched his name further into Masters history by making an extraordinary 24th consecutive cut at the tournament. Fans were treated to a display of resilience as Woods battled the elements to post a level par 72 in his second round at Augusta.
On the other hand, Rory McIlroy’s pursuit of a Grand Slam took a hit as he struggled to find momentum, failing to register a birdie and ending with a disappointing five-over 77. This setback sees him trailing by 10 strokes. Defending champion Jon Rahm also faced difficulties, managing only a second-round 76, pushing him back to five over par.
As the tournament progresses, the leaderboard remains tightly contested, promising an exciting weekend ahead at Augusta National.
