The second round of the Masters finally came to an end on Saturday morning. In the rain and with a bit of wind, the players finished their game. Jon Rahm, who had 9 holes left to play, fought hard to try to catch up on Brooks Koepka by signing three birdies, for only one bogey. Under a downpour, Rahm finally concedes a new bogey at 18 and ends his day with a card of 69 (-3). With a total score of -10, the Spaniard is 2nd just two strokes behind Koepka.
On this same hole 17 and in the part of Rahm, Cameron Young dropped a few points by signing a double bogey. The American signs a score in par (72) and drops to 6th place in the standings at -5 total. With a cut finally at +3, of the seven amateurs present this week, only Sam Bennett (-8) passes the cut.

Like the number of LIV players who pass the cut of the 87th Masters
It also goes for Fred Couples. At 63 years and 184 days, the winner of the 1992 Masters is 40th (+1) and becomes the oldest player to pass the cut in the history of the tournament. Successful baptism of fire for Tom Kim. The 20-year-old is also qualified for his first Masters.
It’s over however for Rory McIlroy, already out last night with his +5 total. If Justin Thomas and his +4 total saved Tiger Woods, the double winner of the USPGA will not continue the adventure. Also at +4, we find Bryson DeChambeau, Francesco Molinari or the winner of the par 3 contest Tom Hoge.
No cut either for Kevin Kisner (+5), Danny Willett (+6) or Bubba Watson (+8).
The third round will begin at 11:30 a.m. (local time, or 5:30 p.m. in France) with games of three players, holes n°1 and n°10.
