A 1-under 71 was enough for 2022 Masters champion Scottie Scheffler to take a one-shot lead over Collin Morikawa on Moving Day at Augusta National.
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The world No. 1 who came into the 88th Masters as a runaway favorite is 18 holes from a second green jacket.
Scheffler began the day in a three-way tie for the lead and took the solo lead multiple times on Moving Day. He had to regroup after a stumble early on the second nine and played the last six holes in 3 under. He shot 1-under 71 for the round to get to 7 under for the tournament to lead Morikawa, who hit every fairway in a round of 3-under 69 that was the day’s second best score.
Max Homa is in solo third at 5 under after a 1-over 73 that featured 17 pars and one bogey. Behind him are a number of players who will go to sleep Saturday night replaying some mistakes.
