AUGUSTA, Georgia : Masters second round play got underway at Augusta National on Friday with nasty weather set to challenge a leaderboard featuring hot favourites Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler and a few intriguing surprises.
Spanish world number three Rahm, one of the betting favourites to win the Green Jacket, Norway's Viktor Hovland and LIV Golf hope Brooks Koepka shared a two-shot overnight lead after carding opening round seven-under 65s on Thursday in ideal conditions. While Rahm, winner of three events already this season, was always expected to contend at the year's first major, Koepka was not.
Also in the pack at four-under are 2019 U.S. Open winner Gary Woodland, 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry, and Adam Scott, who won Australia's first Green Jacket 10 years ago.
