AUGUSTA, Ga. \u2014 A notable streak came to an abrupt end for Scottie Scheffler on Friday at the 90th Masters.<\/p>\n
The world No. 1 and two-time champion at Augusta National Golf Club started the week as a favorite to slip into a third green jacket, and he did enough with his opening-round 70 to remain in contention. But things got uncharacteristically wobbly for Scheffler in the second round, as he faded to a 2-over 74 that dropped him back to even par for the week.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s just the third time in 24 career rounds at Augusta National that Scheffler has failed to break par, and it snaps a run of 11 straight rounds of par or better that dated back to the third round in 2023. It was the third-longest such streak in Masters history behind Tiger Woods (16 straight from 2007-2011) and Jon Rahm (15 straight from 2018-2021).<\/p>\n
\u201cToday I felt like I played a lot better than my score,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cI got off to a slow start. A few up-and-downs early that I should have had that I didn\u2019t convert.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheffler explained that the only shot he wanted to hit again would be his approach to the par-5 13th. With a hanging lie in the undulating fairway, he played a 3-iron approach expecting it to draw toward the green. Instead, it hung out to the right and bounded into a tributary of Rae\u2019s Creek.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe a different decision there,\u201d he admitted.<\/p>\n
That approach on No. 13 led to a bogey, as did a watery approach to the par-5 15th, which sailed over the green and bounded into the penalty area that guards the 16th hole. They were two of four bogeys on the day for Scheffler, who was outside the top 20 when he signed his scorecard.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to hole a few more putts. I felt like it was rolling nice today, but balls just weren\u2019t dropping. Maybe my reads were a little bit off,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cIt was frustrating to get back to Even, have a couple par-5s in front of me, and then not do many things I felt wrong and wasn\u2019t able to convert really basically anything coming down the stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scheffler will comfortably make the 36-hole cut, his seventh straight to begin what has been a fruitful Masters career. He\u2019ll look to start a new streak in red figures Saturday to rekindle chances for a comeback win \u2013 or at least give himself a chance for a fifth straight top-10 finish in the year\u2019s first major.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t force anything around this place,\u201d Scheffler said. \u201cI definitely struck it well enough to have a really, really nice round today. So go get a bit of practice, get some rest and get ready for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
