Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Scheffler’s complaints about the course conditions were a slow start, but he recovered to get within one stroke of the lead.
His second round, with four bogeys, was the real killer.
He struggled to take advantage of the soft conditions on Friday, and the barrage of birdies by Rory McIlroy and others sealed his fate.
This one felt recognizable early, and the result wasn’t surprising by the end.
Original observation: The Masters always finds a way to make the top contenders sweat.
