Masters Day Two Recap: World's Top Golfer Tied Atop a Divergent Tournament

Two rounds in the books and two more to go … well, sort of.

The stop-and-start version of the 84th Masters was a 10-hour test of endurance on Friday, with some of the biggest names in golf rising to the top and the biggest body in the game continuing to struggle.

Through 1 and ¾ rounds, a quartet of players lead the Masters at 9-under par. That group is led by world No. 1 Dustin Johnson and No. 3 Justin Thomas, who along with Abraham Ancer and Cameron Smith sit one stroke clear of the rest of the field.
