The first two rounds of the Masters Tournament have left many impressive performances in the books, such as Bryson DeChambeau playing the best round of his career on Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club, or Max Homa leading an event in which his best result to date is a T43.
But the first 36 holes of the Masters Tournament also featured some very unfortunate performances that will not be forgotten by the fans or the players. Golf greats, both current and historic, missed the cut, some of them with truly impressive falls.
The most notable of these was Justin Thomas, who was comfortably in the cut at the Masters Tournament until the 14th hole of the second round, with a score of even par. From there, he was a completely different player, playing his last four holes at 7 over with one bogey and three double bogeys to miss the cut by one stroke.
Another player to miss the cut at the Masters Tournament was reigning US Open champion and top 10 player in the world Wyndam Clark, who carded just one birdie and seven bogeys in the second round. Clark’s case has been much talked about, as he said a day earlier that he could have a similar performance to leader Bryson DeChambeau (7-under), as only 54 holes are played at LIV Golf, the same amount he had left.
2023 FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland also missed out on the weekend at the Masters Tournament. Hovland finished at 8-over after a horrific second round in which he carded one birdie, three bogeys, two double bogeys and a triple bogey.
Hovland left Augusta National so disappointed with his performance at the Masters that he has already announced his withdrawal from the RBC Heritage.
Brian Harman, the reigning British Open champion, also missed the cut at 9-under. In his case, his first round was the most unfortunate. He tried his best to improve on Friday, but his deficit from the previous day was too much to overcome.
Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson were also among those who missed the cut.
