Summary
Bryson DeChambeau, 32, was on the verge of missing the cut at the Masters after imploding on the 18th hole. He was 3-over heading into the hole and needed an up-and-down to shoot par and play into the weekend. DeChambeau’s triple bogey brought him to 6-over and behind the cut line, his first missed cut at Augusta since 2023. He was not the only notable name to miss the cut, as last year’s U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun also missed the cut at 5-over. Rory McIlroy leads the Masters at 12-under.
