Masters 2020 live updates: Tiger Woods continues second round, Jon Rahm joins the lead on Day 3

News

Plus, who knows what we’ll see from Bryson DeChambeau? Every hole has been an adventure for the U.S. Open champion, and two big numbers, the triple-bogey 7 at the third hole Friday and the double-bogey 7 at the par-5 13th hole Thursday have summed up Bryson’s week thus far. But he can still make the cut—so he can continue to captivate us.

Here’s a look at the action from Day 3 at Augusta National.

7:43 a.m.: Off the birdie make at the par-5 13th, Jon Rahm now has a chance to take the outright lead at the par-4 14th hole, hitting a great approach after a phenomenal drive, leaving him just 126 yards in at the 14th. Bryson’s drive sailed right but got some tree help to find a little corner of the fairway, and Bryson’s approach hit the slope on the undulating 14th green and rolled close to the hole for a chance at a second birdie in a row.

7:40 a.m.: Tiger Woods played a little low chip from just in front of the 11th green and left himself a good 4 1/2 feet above the hole for his par putt. But Tiger slides the downhill slider in perfectly. That’s a great par to start his morning here at Augusta as Tiger looks to get within striking distance of the lead.

7:34 a.m.: C.T. Pan birdies the par-5 eighth hole to get within one of the lead. As Jim Nantz points out—when Tiger Woods won the Masters last year, Pan won the following week at the RBC Heritage. Just a little nugget . . . when Pan’s ball-striking is on, like it was at Harbour Town that week, his game looks elite. And that’s what’s happening thus far this week.

7:30 a.m.: Play resumed in the second round with a couple of crucial moments on the golf course. Jon Rahm makes his 5-footer above the hole for birdie at the par-5 13th hole to tie the lead of Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas, Abraham Ancer and Cameron Smith.

Tiger Woods had a lie in the rough on the 11th hole, playing his second shot. He hit a solid shot just in front of the green.

Webb Simpson waited overnight to hit an eagle putt from about 6 feet at the par-5 15th hole, and he made the putt on these smoother greens in the morning. Webb had been struggling on Friday but he’s now 5-under for the tournnament, just four back of the lead.
