Earning a Masters green jacket isn't supposed to be easy, but Augusta National's conditions this week have been especially trying.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The wind died down but not the angst. That came back in full force on a beautiful afternoon at Augusta National , one that again saw the course’s beastly qualities override its beauty.
There was some grumbling, to be sure. The pin placements were not easy. While it was nowhere near as blustery as Friday’s second round, the wind was still tricky and the greens got very slick. Scheffler, who won the Masters two years ago and has two recent victories at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and Players Championship, saw the breaks go against him when a wind gust carried his approach shot over the 10th green and into a bush, leading to a double bogey.
This year, Morikawa’s usually strong iron play has been the problem. Having ranked no worse than third in any year going back to 2020 in strokes-gained approach on the PGA Tour, he has dropped to 79th this year.
