After some rain overnight softened up the course, the scoring conditions were ideal for Friday’s second round at the Masters. And many of the world’s best golfers were ready to take advantage. Following a masterful opening round at Augusta National, round one leader Justin Rose came back to earth on Friday, allowing much of the field to move within striking distance heading to the weekend. Rose shot a very respectable round of 71, but had too many bogeys mixed in with his handful of birdies. However, the 44-year-old Englishman has many on his tail including Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy. DeChambeau, a two-time major winner, started out the second round scorched earth and continued on to finish the day at 4-under par, sitting one stroke behind Rose for the lead. The Northern Irishman, McIlroy, had a disastrous back nine in Thursday’s first round but did a total 180 on Friday, carding a 6-under par that leaves him just two shots from the lead.
