Scheffler streak of most consecutive rounds of par or better snapped
Scottie Scheffler had gone 11 straight rounds at Augusta finishing at par or better.
That streak snapped on Friday when Scheffler finished 2-over 74, his first over-par score at the Masters since a 75 in the second round in 2023. He sits T-23 on the leaderboard with about half of the field still on the course.
Scheffler bogeyed on a pair of second nine par 5s (No. 13 and No. 15) during his second round which sent the two-time Masters winner tumbling down the leaderboard after finishing 2 under after the first 18 holes.
“It’s a hard shot for me, because where I hit my drive there, we caught that tee ball into the wind again, so as far as I can get it out there, there’s still some trees in my way, so I kind of have to start on that bridge, but off the slope I felt like I could pretty easily draw it off,” Scheffler explained about the breakdown on No. 13.
“I just tried to kind of swing it with the slope and just didn’t catch it that solid and kind of hung out there.”
