McIlroy and Thomas missed the cut in the same major championship for the first time 29 th time in the same field. Jon Rahm left shakes hands with Justin Thomas after finishing the first round of The Masters golf tournament. Thomas fizzled in the cold, rainy conditions on Saturday morning, making three bogeys in his final four holes to miss the cut by one stroke.
Thomas looked to be safe to make the cut through 27 holes -2 , but when the weather worsened so did his play. He made a double bogey at 11 and a bogey at 12 to go over par and then struggled to the house. It added up to a 6-over Needing no worse than par at 18 to make the cut himself, Thomas missed the green and left his par putt short.
It marked the first time in eight Masters appearances that Thomas has missed the cut. It also ended a streak of 12 cuts made in a row dating to July — the Genesis Scottish Open was his last missed cut. Bryson DeChambeau walks the second green during the first round of The Masters golf tournament. DeChambeau earned crystal for an eagle at 15 in his first round but he left early after a pair of 74s.
In his first round, DeChambeau made zero birdies. In his second, he hit just half the greens in regulation and a double bogey at No. It marked the second straight year he missed the cut at the Masters. Hoge, No. He made an ace and took home the crystal while keeping the streak alive that the winner on Wednesday has never gone on to win the tournament proper on Sunday.
Rory McIlroy reacts to his shot after hitting from the first fairway during the second round of the Masters. McIlroy played a sloppy first round, carding five birdies and five bogeys in posting 72 on Thursday. Needing to go low to get back into the tournament on Friday, he shot 77, his worst score in a Masters round since It marked just the third time in 15 career starts that McIlroy has missed the cut at the Masters.
Kevin Kisner tees off on the fifth hole during the first round of The Masters golf tournament. Kisner also missed the cut for the third time in the last four years at the Masters. U s masters 2023 leaderboard Garcia, the Masters champ, has now missed the cut in four of his last five Masters since his victory. Things were going swimmingly for Garcia in the first round as he posted 2-under 34 on his first nine, but made four bogeys on the second nine, including both of the par 5s.
It added up to Bubba Watson takes a shot on the first fairway during the first round of The Masters golf tournament. They leapt to their feet and roared, holding onto the moment for a full minute to make sure the significance sunk in. It felt OK loving him again, even if just for a moment. He kept punching the air on repeat as he circled back to his bag, that uncontrollable kind of giddiness one feels when it was all worth it.
And he smiled again. Read more here. The poetic symmetry. What it would mean. What it would mean if Rahm, maybe the best player in the world at the moment, could navigate this place and claim his first green jacket. A win this week. He cares about his home country.
Raised in the town of Barrika on the northern coast of Spain, he goes out of his way to return home to play in the Spanish Open. He understands not only that he should play, but that needs to do so in order to pay it forward. Now the two play practice rounds at Augusta together. Rahm cares about golf. He arose in the game as a generational talent, so good that he traveled across the world to Arizona State, so good that some considered him a top player in the world while he was still an amateur.
He spent his early years trying to tame a volcanic disposition. That fury, it got the best of him too often. His golf swing, a flick of the wrist, is entirely his own. He cares about history. Phil Mickelson would not stop talking this week about how he felt like he was going to go on a tear, how he was hitting the ball as well as he ever had and just needed to stop making mistakes.
And then he birdied six of the final 13 holes to score the lowest round in Masters history by someone 50 or older, finishing T-2 for the tournament. Mickelson played his normal creative, exciting style of golf and was dialed in with his irons, leaving multiple tap-in birdies.
But that putting came through consistently, hitting long birdies on 12 and 18 to get the crowd back on his side. Mickelson was clearly emotional after the round, pumping his fist repeatedly even after the round ended. He said he thinks it's a "stepping stone" toward better golf and doing unprecedented things for a golfer in his 50s. Phil wasn't alone making runs up the leaderboard late.
Jordan Spieth posted a 66 to finish tied for fourth. Sahith Theegala got as low as 6-under before a bogey on 18, same for Scottie Scheffler before a double bogey on He came back Thursday with seven birdies and an eagle, playing the next 17 holes at 9-under. He was the best player in the field by all measures. In the end, in what was supposed to be an earth-moving clash between Rahm and Brooks Koepka turned into a very slow coronation for Rahm.
Koepka faded early, tried to claw back, but never made Rahm blink. Similar to Scottie Scheffler last year, and many others over the years, Rahm rode his short game to a Masters victory. He was spectacular around the greens. He hit over 70 percent of greens in regulation, and converted nearly 80 percent of his scramble attempts.
Now the year-old Spaniard stands with two career major victories in 26 career major appearances and is halfway to the career grand slam. He is a portrait of generational talent coming to fruition. Rahm is the fourth player in men's golf history to win both the Masters and U. Jon Rahm is the first player to double bogey the opening hole of a major and go on to win since Lucas Glover at the U.
