Masters at the Turn: Thoughts From the First Two Rounds at Augusta National

We are at the halfway point in the 2025 Masters Tournament, and with moving day in a few short hours, the stars have shown up for the 89th Masters. After a couple disappointing double bogeys to finish his first round, Rory McIlroy came back with a sterling 66 on Friday to climb back up the leaderboard and back into the conversation heading into the weekend. Will this be the year he gets the monkey off his back and completes the grand slam? Bryson Dechambeau also played a much cleaner round on Friday than he did the previous day and finds himself a shot back of the leader after 36 holes. Can the YouTube star find a way to put on the Green Jacket this Sunday. Scottie Scheffler was frustrated at times, but played well enough to hang around heading into the weekend. Leader Justin Rose has to know that the world number one player is lurking, just 3 shots back of his lead. We will talk about the stories so far, including Fred Couples and Bernhard Langer battling to try to made the cut at ages 65 & 67 at the same time, young spaniard Javier Ballestar got in hot water for urinating into Rae's Creek. We will talk this and many more topics, including our predictions on this Masters midway point episode of the Break80 Podcast. The Break80 Podcast can be found on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
