Inclement weather pushed the start of The Masters back a couple of hours, so Friday is going to be a long day at Augusta National.
Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson and Tommy Fleetwood will have the longest second-days, as they were only able to get 10 holes in due to darkness. Those with tickets to round two are lucky, though – they will get to see Tiger Woods play for just about one-and-a-third rounds of golf.
Bryson DeChambeau’s -7 is the leader of the pack right now, with 2022 green jacket winner Scottie Scheffler just a stroke behind.
Here is what to look for on Day 2 at Augusta.
How does the leader carry over?
DeChambeau got off to a red-hot start, racking up three-straight birdies to begin the day. He cooled off for a bit, going one-over through his next eight holes, but he birdied five of his next six and wrapped up with a round-one 66.
The powerful LIV star was one of the first out on Thursday and was slated to tee off at 11:54 a.m. on Friday. However, with the first round being suspended, it is possible that he could be pushed back, giving himself an even longer rest.
However, someone who is on severely short rest is the five-time Masters winner, Tiger Woods.
How will Tiger react to the early tee time?
The already-short rest was already bad news for Woods, but now, it is going to be even shorter. Last year, he barely made the cut on Saturday morning and then withdrew in the third round later on in the day.
Woods was originally slated to tee off at 10:18 a.m. ET, but he will be on the 14th hole at 8 a.m. instead. The good news is he is well inside the cut line at -1 (it is currently one-over). The bad news is, Friday presents a multitude of unknowns, and with his recent history, it is most likely negative.

He is easily the best…
