At last year’s Masters Tournament, the cut after the first two days was three over par. Adam Scott, the 2013 champion, was the co-leader on Friday night at seven under. But just six shots back, having easily made the cut at one under par, was another past champion: Bernhard Langer, who won the Masters in 1985 and 1993. He had just made his 26th cut at the tournament.

“I was thinking of making a charge and getting onto the leaderboard and having a chance to win on Sunday,” Langer, 63, said from his home in Florida.
