<\/a>The Masters 2026 – day two<\/p>\n

A massive left-to-right putt for McIlroy, who plays it safe as he rolls it by the hole. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s on -7 as he completes his front-nine. Meanwhile, Fleetwood saves par at 11 – and finds the green safely at the par-3 12th hole.<\/p>\n

Leaderboard: -7 McIlroy (9); -5 Rose (F), Reed (11) – 4 Hatton (F), Clark (F), Li (F), Reitan (14), Day (12), Fleetwood (11), Schauffele (10)<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Masters 2026 – day two<\/p>\n

Tommy Fleetwood very irritated with his approach at 10, which he fades away from the hole. <\/p>\n

Still, he\u2019s so in contention here at -4. <\/p>\n

Burns, meanwhile, drops another shot. Overnight leader is now -3, four off the lead. <\/p>\n

Leaderboard: -7 McIlroy (7); -5 Rose (F), Reed (10) – 4 Hatton (F), Clark (F), Li (F), Reitan (14), Day (12), Fleetwood (10), Schauffele (10)<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Masters 2026 – day two<\/p>\n

So close to a miraculous birdie for Rory! <\/p>\n

After a tetchy build-up, his putt from off the green only JUST misses the hole! <\/p>\n

He\u2019s down on his haunches. Still, a solid par. <\/p>\n

Jason Day, meanwhile, drops a shot. Now six players on -4. <\/p>\n

Leaderboard: -7 McIlroy (7); -5 Rose (F), Reed (10) – 4 Hatton (F), Clark (F), Li (F), Burns (12), Day (11), Fleetwood (10)<\/p>\n

Lovely 15-foot putt from Matt Fitzpatrick at 9 which takes him to +1. <\/p>\n

McIlroy, in the sand at 8, just lays up to get to the fairway for the par 5. <\/p>\n

Bit of trouble for the leader. <\/p>\n

Scotland\u2019s Robert MacIntyre won\u2019t be here for the weekend – he ends on +7. <\/p>\n

<\/a>The Masters 2026 – day two<\/p>\n

As soon as I state that eagle stat, Tommy Fleetwood goes and nails one at 8!<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Masters 2026 – day two<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler just misses a solid putt on 17 – and he remains even-par. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s just not coming to him so far at Augusta. <\/p>\n

Fun stat just broadcast: no eagle for nearly two hours. Bit of a breeze out there at the moment. <\/p>\n

McIlroy\u2019s attempted birdie putt at 6 slides left. Par. Day does get a birdie, he\u2019s now two off the lead. <\/p>\n

Leaderboard: -7 McIlroy (5); -5 Rose (F). Burns (10); Day (9) -4 Reed (6), Hatton (F), Clark (F), Li (16); -3 Lowry (7), Griffin (17), Koepka (F), Gotterup (F), Homa (15)<\/p>\n
