Wyndham Clark Shines Early on Masters Day Two
Wyndham Clark produced a strong start on the second day of the Masters. He made three birdies in his first four holes to move within two shots of the leaders.
Clark’s fast start
The 32-year-old US Open champion began the round at level par. He chipped his third shot to four feet at the par-five second to get momentum.
He then holed a 22-foot birdie putt at the following hole. A tee shot at the short third left him eight feet for another birdie.
Context and form
Clark claimed his lone major title at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023. He has one other top-10 finish across 16 major starts.
His best performance at Augusta is a tie for 46th. The softer early morning conditions helped his hot opening stretch.

- Jon Rahm — six over after the first round.
- Jordan Spieth — level par.
- Scottie Scheffler — two under and due out before 10.30am local time.

MacIntyre’s trouble
MacIntyre’s opening round included a quadruple-bogey nine at the par-five 15th. He was aiming to steady his game early on day two.
