The Masters 2024: Scottie Scheffler shares halfway lead as Tiger Woods makes history and Rory McIlroy struggles | Golf News
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler remains favourite for victory at The Masters after moving into a share of the halfway lead at Augusta National, where Tiger Woods made history and Rory McIlroy stuttered into the weekend.
Scheffler carded a level-par 72 in strong winds at Augusta National to remain at six under and make it a three-way tie at the top with Ryder Cup team-mate Max Homa and overnight leader Bryson DeChambeau.
Nicolai Hojgaard sits in fourth after a round where only eight players break par, while Woods’ level-par 72 on a marathon Friday – where he played 23 holes – saw him secure a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at the opening major of the year.
