    Davis -5 (6)

    Aussie Cam Davis has made an excellent start to his second round, birdieing the second and par-three sixth to move to five under, just two off the lead.

    Johnson +5, Morikawa E, Fleetwood -1 (17)

    Now there are only two groups on the course who are finishing their first rounds.

    The last of those is the ensemble cast of Tommy Fleetwood, Dustin Johnson and Collin Morikawa.

    Fleetwood slipped back to one under with a bogey on the 17th and will hope to have a sniff of claiming that back on the last.

    Hojgaard -5 (1)

    Nicolai Hojgaard is already back out on the hallowed turf.

    The Dane kicks off his second round with a solid par putt from about six feet.

    It'll be interesting to see if he can go low again and set a target for those out later on.

  4. Open champion Harman drops to lastpublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 12 April

    Harman (81)

    Blimey... Brian Harman can't have slept well last night.

    The reigning Open champion has had this morning what can only be described as a shocker.

    After going out in 34 yesterday, Harman - who resumed today on the 13th - has come back in 47. Forty-seven!!

    The Butcher of Hoylake finishes triple-double-double bogey. Augusta is carving him up.

    No time to dwell on it, mind. Harman is back out in 40 minutes or so.

    Woods +1, Day +3, Homa -5 (18)

    So that is part one of this double header done for this group.

    They've only got a turnaround of about 40 minutes before teeing off for round two.

    Never mind an ice bath, Tiger, it might be back to the range.

    Someone grab him an egg sandwich.

  7. Bogey for Homapublished at 14:36 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods +1, Day +3, Homa -5 (18)

    Max Homa made a mistake with his overhit approach on the last and it has proved costly.

    Three putts back from the fringe sees the American drop a shot for the first time this morning.

    Homa moves back to five-under par, leaving Scottie Scheffler flying solo in second behind Bryson DeChambeau.

  8. Bogey for Woodspublished at 14:32 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods +1, Day +2, Homa -6 (18)

    The roar if Tiger Woods had holed from the sand would have been heard in Atlanta.

    It's close but not close enough as the ball whistles past the lip.

    In fact, it's gone too far - he misses the par putt back.

    Woods taps in the bogey putt before exhaling and waving to the cheering patrons.

    As we suspected, it has been a tough physical effort for Woods and he will be annoyed to drop two shots on the resumption this morning.

  9. Postpublished at 14:29 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods E, Day +2, Homa -6 (17)

    That walk up the 18th fairway looks a tough one for Tiger Woods. Lead weights have been inserted in those joints.

    His approach is dunked into the sand.

    Max Homa has been throwing darts at the pins today, but this time he misses the board and goes through the back.

  10. Postpublished at 14:27 British Summer Time 12 April

    Aberg +1, Spieth +6 (16)

    This pair have shipped eight shots between them over the previous two holes so writing a 3 on the scorecard for the 16th hole will be a welcome relief for them both.

    Ludvig Aberg's came courtesy of a two-putt par from around 25 feet, while Jordan Spieth was in scrambling mode after hitting his tee shot in a greenside bunker.

    While Dustin Johnson figures out his recovery from getting wet, Tommy Fleetwood is relieved to see his approach pitch over the water.

    It is a game of fine margins, particularly at Augusta, and Fleetwood's initial anxious stare has turned into a pleased eyes.

    This is a birdie chance... but the putt slips by. Fleetwood can't believe it.

    DJ writes down a seven on his card, by the way. That's back-to-back double bogeys for the 2020 champ.

    Johnson +1, Morikawa E, Fleetwood -2 (14)

    Dustin Johnson's record-breaking conquering of Augusta in 2020 seems just a distant memory.

    Particularly now for the former world number one as he toils on the 15th.

    DJ has not found his groove for a while now as he seemingly winds down his career and collects the LIV cash.

    The 39-year-old's lack of game-time shows as he finds the water on the par-five 15th and he's going to be lucky if he escapes with a six.

  13. Rookie errors from 2015 championpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 12 April

    Aberg +1, Spieth +6 (15)

    Oh Jordan, Jordan, Jordan...

    A man with his experience round Augusta National makes a rookie error, pinging his fourth from off the back of the 15th green on to the short stuff with a fraction too much pace and he can only watch his ball trickles through and down the slope that he's just seen Ludvig Aberg disappear down.

    Spieth is already reaching for a replacement ball before his makes a splash. He goes over the other side of the pond to drop but then flicks his sixth shot back to almost where he hit his original water ball from!

    An understandably tentative seventh follows and he's got a 25-footer down the slope for an eight. That too pulls up two-feet short. A quadruple-bogey nine. Ouch.

    Ludvig Aberg is also in the hole. Two shots better but still a double-bogey seven.

  15. Hatton's misery continuespublished at 14:08 British Summer Time 12 April

    Hatton E (72)

    I think if I saw Tyrrell Hatton heading into the clubhouse canteen for a quick snack between rounds, I'd be avoiding his gaze.

    The Englishman wraps up his round with a bogey on the last. He started Friday on three under. All three shots gone as he signs for a 72.

  16. Par for Woodspublished at 14:08 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods E, Day +2, Homa -6 (17)

    Even Tiger Woods showed his admiration for Max Homa's approach. Young Eldrick made approaches like that for breakfast, dinner and tea in his heyday.

    But in the supper of his career, the 48-year-old can't match it. He finds the front of the 17th green in two, carefully prodding up the birdie putt and tucking away the one for par.

  17. Aberg in water troublepublished at 14:07 British Summer Time 12 April

    Aberg -1 (14)

    A key thing at Augusta National is making sure you don't compound your errors.

    Ludvig Aberg is finding that out, the hard way. After missing the green on the 14th with a wedge, he's layed up short of the pond with his second on the par-five 15th but then plays a ruinous third.

    It's a shot we've seen hundreds of times, the ball finding the green but spinning backwards and catching the slope that takes the ball to a watery grave.

  18. Birdie puts Homa into joint secondpublished at 14:04 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods E, Day +2, Homa -6 (17)

    Watch out Scottie Scheffler - you have company.

    Max Homa's ball is so close to the can on 17 that it feels like the gusty wind might blow in it.

    It doesn't. But it leaves a putt which even a high-handicapper could knock in one-handed.

    Homa moves six under and shares second place with Scheffler.

  19. Postpublished at 14:01 British Summer Time 12 April

    Woods E, Day +2, Homa -5 (16)

    Oh wow! Max Homa is cooking now.

    The man with a smooth as silk swing almost holes his approach on the par-four 17th.

    Homa squints into the morning sun and the whooping of the patrons tell him what he knows - that was good.

    Another birdie incoming...

  20. Postpublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 12 April

    Johnson +1, Morikawa E, Fleetwood -2 (14)

    This is half a chance for Tommy Fleetwood to make waves.

    A birdie putt from about eight feet on the 14th... it breaks left and leaves Fleetwood wincing.
