With a strong field and ideal conditions at Augusta National, the 2025 Masters could be one of the best in years. The cut line came in at 2-under and there are a number of names in the hunt for a green jacket come Sunday.
Justin Rose remains at the top of The Masters leaderboard after shooting 3-under 67 in Round 2 at Augusta National. The defending champion has been impressive this week, producing a pair of strong rounds and a birdie-free finish on Friday. The 44-year-old is looking to win a second green jacket and to complete a career grand slam of major titles.
Rory McIlroy rebounded from his disastrous first-round to post the lowest second-round score of the day and is tied for third at 6-under with Corey Conners. The defending Masters champ has struggled at times this year but is in great form going into the weekend and has a chance to make a run for his fourth green jacket.
Bryson DeChambeau shot a 3-under 69 on Friday and sits just two shots behind McIlroy at 7 under. Scottie Scheffler is in a tie for fifth at 6 under with a host of players including Tyrrell Hatton, Joaquin Niemann and one-time major winner Shane Lowry.
The group at T12 is heavy with major winners and a pair of LIV Golf pros in Hideki Matsuyama, Patrick Reed and Ludvig Aberg. Matsuyama and Reed both had a rough start to the tournament, but each produced solid second-round rounds to climb into contention.
