The Masters tournament at Augusta National Golf Course enters the weekend with a three-way tie for the lead and a crowded leaderboard. Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Max Homa are all at 6-under, while challenging weather conditions made it a tough day for the players.

Two rounds down already? Slow down, Masters . We've passed the cut line and enter the weekend at Augusta National , and it's shaping up to be a true classic. There's a three-way tie for the lead, and there are 21 people within six shots. Here's what to watch for as Saturday golf at Augusta National Golf Course has arrived.

It's a crowded leaderboard Simply put, there are three stars tied for the lead, as tournament favorite and 2022 winner Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Max Homa are all at 6-under. DeChambeau had an opportunity to build off his round 1 67, but crazy wind gusts didn't allow him to do so, as he shot a 73 in round 2. Homa gained two strokes with 71, while Scheffler's even round kept him at bay.

Masters Madness incoming? Most likely. Saturday is always moving day, and the weather is expected to be much better on Saturday. Day one was rainy, and day two was windy, forcing just about everyone to lay off the aggressiveness. But Saturday is going to be mid-70s and sunny . Low scores were non-existent in round two, but it shouldn't surprise anyone if they make a return this weekend. But, a friendly reminder, The Masters doesn't start until the back nine on Sunday.
