Rory McIlroy pushed past Justin Rose in the first hole of sudden death to win his fourth Masters title and become just the sixth player to complete the career Grand Slam. It was a heart-racing, head-shaking finish at Augusta National like no other in the history of golf’s most famous tournament, a drama filled with more highs and lows than any other in major championship theater.
Bryson DeChambeau took a huge step forward in his bid for the second major of 2025 with an under-par round. He’s tied for the lead at six under after two rounds and is one shot behind leader Justin Rose.
Nick Dunlap was in trouble early on but was able to turn things around. The 21-year-old is the youngest Masters competitor to shoot a 90 in a tournament round, but his 71 in Round 2 was the best single-round improvement of any Masters competitor since 1936.
Justin Rose rolled in eight birdies at Augusta National to hold the lead by three shots over Corey Conners, Scottie Scheffler and Ludvig Aberg. The Englishman has been in the lead for eight rounds at the Masters, more than any multi-time winner here at Augusta.
The cut line at the Masters sits at two over after the first round. The top 50 players and ties will advance to the final two rounds at Augusta National on Saturday and Sunday.
