Take a look at who is leading The Masters after the second round of action.

The second round of The Masters got underway as the golfers looked to improve their first round scores. Participants faced swift winds on Friday, which negatively affected their play especially when it came to putting.

While most of the leaderboard headed south, Jordan Spieth continued to stay at the top of The Masters leaderboard. It wasn’t his best round of professional golf, but he did enough to guarantee that he’ll be in the final group to start play on Saturday. Bryson DeChambeau had a good day on Friday until he fizzled out down the stretch to finish even-par for the second-straight day.

After being towards the top on Thursday, Sergio Garcia struggled on Friday, but kept himself in contention as the action heads to the weekend. Tom Watson finished Friday at +8 and will miss the cut in his final Masters of his successful career. Friday’s cut after Round 2 is projected at +6, which includes the top-50 golfers in the field plus ties. The leaderboard following Round 2 is below.

1. Jordan Spieth (-4)
T2. Rory McIlroy (-3)
T3. Scott Piercy (-2)
T3. Danny Lee (-2)
T5. Soren Kjeldsen (-1)
T5. Hideki Matsuyama (-1)
