Brooks Koepka took advantage of ideal morning scoring conditions to put the LIV Golf flag three shots clear at the top of the Masters' early second-round leaderboard on Friday, as rain and thunderstorms took aim at Augusta National.
Koepka, who shared the overnight lead with Norway's Viktor Hovland and Spain's Jon Rahm charged in front with a spotless outward nine highlighted by an eagle on the par-five eighth and a birdie at the second to reach the turn on 10-under.
Start times were pushed ahead by 30 minutes in an effort to get as much play in as possible before forecasted thunderstorms sweep into Augusta. Scoring is expected to get far more difficult on Friday, particularly for late starters like Rahm, who is in the second to last group out with Justin Thomas and Cameron Young at 1:18 p.m. ET .
Even in Thursday's superb conditions, Woods slumped to his worst opening round since 2005 and with the rain and cold sure to put his surgically repaired leg to an even bigger test, he will need to find some of the Augusta magic that earned him five Green Jackets.
