Masters Day Two Recap: Rory McIlroy Leads The Way With A Strong Leaderboard In Hot Pursuit

from Kick Point: The Golf Gear Show

Big thanks to this week's sponsor, Callaway. Seeing Augusta this week, it’s obvious how important approach play is to success. Distance control, consistency and giving yourself chances is so important. Now, while the guys out there aren’t gaming these, Callaway’s new Quantum Irons are built for exactly that kind of challenge… for everyday golfers. They’re designed as game improvement irons, which means more forgiveness, more consistency, and helping you hit more greens, especially on those slight misses we all have. So while the pros are dialling it in with precision this week, Quantum Irons are all about helping you bring a bit more of that consistency into your own game. If you’re looking to improve your iron play, they’re definitely worth a look. To find out more, visit eu.callawaygolf.com.Well, If you thought the opening day at The Masters was good... day two was truly something else. Rory McIlroy continued to dazzle at Augusta National, with a majestic second round performance stretching his lead, but there is an incredibly strong leaderboard that are going to do their best not to make it easy for him over the weekend. In the second of our Masters daily specials, Joe and I discuss Tyrrell Hatton's impressive 66 powered by a 100% green in regulation success rate, Patrick Reed's sublime short game, Justin Rose's popularity and prowess around Augusta National, Brooks Koepka's chances and plenty more. As we look ahead to the weekend, this Masters Tournament has all the makings of a classic.Watch us in FULL on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KickPointGolfGet in touch with Dan and Joe and 'Ask The Pod' via our email: [email protected] up for the weekly Kick Point newsletter, released every Friday: https://www.golfmonthly.com/newsletterGet three issues of the Golf Monthly magazine delivered to your door for just £5 at https://www.magazinesdirect.com/kickpointHosted on Acast.
