Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second day of the 2025 Masters at Augusta National.
Play begins at 7.40am ET but stick with us before then as we review all of yesterday’s action.
Englishman Justin Rose leads the 2025 Masters after threatening to break the Augusta course record for much of Thursday. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is three shots back, along with last year’s runner-up Ludvig Aberg and Canada’s Corey Conners.
But there was yet more Augusta pain for Rory McIlroy. The four-time major champion — who is an Augusta win away from completing a career grand slam — started well and was in contention at four-under par, only to double bogey two of the final four holes.
