9:03 a.m. – Dustin Johnson, Nick Taylor, Justin Hastings (A)

9:14 a.m. – Sergio Garcia, Lucas Glover, Daniel Berger

9:25 a.m. – Patrick Cantlay, Rasmus Højgaard, Matt Fitzpatrick

Yesterday, it was Sergio Garcia’s eyesore that must have been inspired by Ronald McDonald which caught the fashion-focused eyes in the golf world.

Well today, it’s Frenchman Matthieu Pavon who’s wearing… this…

A majority of the groups that have gone off are those below the cut line. Only Rafael Campos has managed to move above the cut and we will likely see more of that later.

The tournament leader pures his drive down the fairway of the first hole for a solid opening shot.

As for his playing partners, Max Homa’s drive goes left and just avoids the second cut while JJ Spaun also hits an incredibly solid drive.

Let’s remind ourselves of where things stand just before the first featured group tees off.

Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg

Tyrrell Hatton, Bryson DeChambeau

Aaron Rai, Harris English, Jason Day, Akshay Bhatia

It’s gonna be gusty around Augusta!

Winds are set to be high throughout the day and a slight chance of rain in the later afternoon could complicate things for those with later tee times.

According to ESPN, the field is expected to be mowed down to 63 golfers sitting above the cut line of three-over-par.

Some notable names starting their day below that mark:

Danny Willett, Robert MacIntyre, Phil Mickelson, Tony Finau, Jon Rahm, Wyndham Clark, Billy Horschel, Adam Scott, Sepp Straka

This is the sportsbook’s current odds for who will win the tournament

It’s one of the most expensive secondary-market tickets in all of sports, so getting to go to Augusta even once must be a truly life-changing experience for golf fans.

Judging by some of the attire from the patrons seen in the photos below, this isn’t the first rodeo for a couple of people.

Just a few days ago, McIlroy was asked about Collin Morikawa refusing to speak to the media after the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The Irishman defended his fellow golfer, saying ‘He’s right’ adding that other pro athletes are ‘obligated to speak’ to the media after contests and ‘We’re not.’

Well, after a Thursday even par performance that has him staring at a steep hill to climb if he wants to try and complete a career grand slam this week, McIlroy skipped out on the media in Augusta.

Read more on why he did so and the backlash he received below:

Augusta seems ripe and ready for some glorious conditions on Friday.

For those attending, it’ll be a fantastic day of memory-making.

And it’s a rough start for Cameron Davis. He’s right on the cut line to start the second round, but a bogey on 1 leaves him struggling on +3 for the tournament. Austin Eckroat is even further back, and has also bogeyed – leaving him on +5 overall.

There’s some dodgy weather forecast for later in the day, too, so some of these earlier groups may need to take advantage of the weather.

Max Homa had an awkward moment during his first round at the Masters yesterday, inadvertently smashing the ball into a caddie standing near the green. ‘Come on dude’, was his response, angrily berating the man… but whose fault was it? Homa or the caddie? You decide!

Yesterday was a *slightly* slower start in terms of big names getting out on the course, but that’s certainly not the case today. Here’s a few of the heavy-hitters that are already at Augusta National and heading out on the course soon:

8:52am: Justin Rose, Max Homa

9:25am: Matt Fitzpatrick, Patrick Cantlay

9:47am: Xander Schauffele, Viktor Hovland

9:58am: Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Akshay Bhatia

Let’s take a look at exactly how the top 10 or so players line up as we get set for day two at Augusta National…

T2: Ludvig Aberg, Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler (-4)

T5: Bryson DeChambeau, Tyrrell Hatton (-3)

T7: Akshay Bhatia, Aaron Rai, Harris English, Jason Day (-2)

Good morning all, and welcome along to Day 2 at the Masters. We’ve got another bumper day of action again today, with tee times beginning at 7:40am.

First out are Cameron Davis, Rafael Campos and Austin Eckroat, but first of all let’s take a look at what happened yesterday…
