The stars have arrived at Augusta National Golf Club. Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka and Viktor Hovland share the lead at Masters 2023 with 7 holes played after 18. Everyone reached the top of the leaderboard in different ways. Rahm signed for the lowest round in Masters history after opening with a double bogey or worse, Hovland carded his lowest round in a Major championship, and Koepka turned back the clock to look like him.
This tournament certainly isn’t just a three-horse race, however, as Cameron Young and Jason Day are two shots down by 5 points from Friday’s second-round entry. World No. 1 and defending champion Scottie Scheffler signed for a 68 on Thursday to keep his back-to-back aspirations alive. Scheffler sits next to a row of killers that includes Xander Schauffele, Shane Lowry and Sam Burns in sixth place. Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau, Justin Thomas and Cameron Smith are all within striking distance.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy (E) and Tiger Woods (+2) may have an eye on the cutline as the weather rolls into the Augusta National area. As a result, start times for Friday’s second round were brought forward by 30 minutes, with play beginning at 7:30 a.m. ET.
