If you’re a betting man or woman, you might want to drop a few bucks on Rory McIlroy or Sam Burns to still be atop the leader board after round two.
This isn’t just front running, but recent history talking. In nine of the last 11 Masters, a first-round leader or co-leader has also been the leader or co-leader after 36 holes. Unfortunately, that rarely translates to winning. In only two of those nine instances did the player go on to win: Jordan Spieth in 2015 and Dustin Johnson in 2020. Masters pressure, indeed.
