Whipping Winds Challenge Golf Pros
Players at Augusta National faced brutal winds during the second round of the Masters tournament, prompting comparisons to facing Mike Tyson and getting hit by a train. The challenging conditions saw top players like Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Jordan Spieth miss the cut, while others barely made it through.
Struggle to Make the Cut
Only 14 out of 89 players are under par after 36 holes, with American trio Max Homa, Bryson DeChambeau, and Scottie Scheffler leading the pack. The windswept course tested golfers’ skills to the limit, with some rounds lasting up to six hours due to the weather delays.
Surviving the Storm
Despite the challenging conditions, some players managed to push through, including Tiger Woods, who made his 24th consecutive cut at the Masters. Woods, a five-time Masters champion, remains in contention despite the tough conditions and the hilly terrain at Augusta National.
Looking Ahead
The third round of the Masters tournament is set to begin on Saturday, with players hoping for calmer winds and better playing conditions as they continue their quest for the coveted green jacket.
