The Masters leaderboard is updated after each round of the tournament, which takes place over two days at Augusta National. The top 50 players and ties advance to the final two rounds of the Masters.
The tournament features a traditional 72-hole format. A player who finishes in the top 10 earns a green jacket, and the winner is awarded the Masters trophy. There have been a total of 94 Masters champions, including many prestigious names such as Padraig Harrington, Sandy Lyle, Sam Snead, and Tom Watson.
Rory McIlroy clinched his fourth major championship and became the sixth man to complete the career Grand Slam with a dramatic win in a sudden-death playoff at The Masters. McIlroy capped off a thrilling back nine at Augusta with a wedge shot to three feet on the 18th hole to beat Justin Rose and join an elite club.
After a shaky start to the day with a double-bogey at the first hole, McIlroy regained his composure, firing four birdies between Nos. 3 and 10. His only blemish came at the 16th hole, where he stood over a 125-yard chip shot to two feet from nearly the same spot he had faltered in regulation.
Bryson DeChambeau is in the chasing pack after improving on his opening-round 69 with a second-round 68. The two-time U.S. Open champion needs to improve his consistency over the weekend to challenge for a green jacket. Meanwhile, Corey Conners and Ludvig Aberg made moves to join Rose at seven under.
