Bryson DeChambeau squeezes inside the cut line as five players share the Masters lead heading into the third round at Augusta.
This is set up for a storming weekend of Major Championship golf.
No wumming from me anymore. May the best man win.

BBC get over yourselves. Bryson has scraped in and has been shocking over the last 2 days.
Maybe focus on the debutant that’s sharing the lead or the other 59 golfers?

Bison just needs two 62’s to live up to his “par 67” boast then.
Meanwhile, the other end of the leaderboard is looking tasty. Come on the Europeans!

Whilst I can understand the BBC's previous love affair with Tiger Woods. He was after all the most famous name in golf and a multiple major winner. Where on earth has this current obsession over Bryson DeChambeau come from? There are dozens of other golfers in front of him in the field. What possible reason does the BBC have to base an article around DeChambeau?
He hit ball hard, people like seeing ball hit hard, and the BBC is always one of the first on any given bandwagon
It’s down to so many genius pundits writing that he was the man to beat, he had “changed golf”. The press like the idea of some sort of unbeatable number one in the game, makes their job easier as they don’t have to do any research, just write about one bloke.
Because he's trying something different and people are interested.
I hate the idea that if a popular sportsperson gets lots of media attention, it must be an "obsession" or "love affair" or "bandwagon". Why are people surprised that the winner of the most recent Major is getting media attention? He's a controversial character, and was boasting before the tournament, then he plays poorly. Of course it's going to be of interest.
Because they are American. Can't support a Brit can they? That would be a show of patriotism, something the Left despises.
I have just read this article, was thinking the exact same thing and there is the highest rated comment on the same subject! It is baffling I agree.
I totally agree. This man has done nothing but try to ruin golf by saying POWQER is the game. It isn't, it is skill and the sooner the Americans also make good courses with twists and turns instead of long parallel straight holes the sooner the better. I have played for 60 years and the way this power game is going itv is killing the game.
Looking like it’s going to be a cracker and skill will overcome brut power !
Bryson was robbed by not being allowed a free drop when his drive plugged. If that was tiger he would have got one. I'm no fan of BDC but I want the competition to be fair.
Yep. There is no way tiger would have had that refused. Stupid ruling.
What rule gives him a free drop? Or are you suggesting they should have made io a rule for him just to be nice?
Do you mean the ball he lost? Can't get a drop for that but the point is that he was very unlucky that the cameras didn't pinpoint it and without the galleries spotting it for him it was a tough break. The way the cookie crumbles I'm afraid.
If you lose a ball, no one gets a free drop.... this has always been the rules! BDC just hasn't played well throughout his 2 rounds. Very fortunate to make the cut IMO

Not any bandwagon. Only those that suit their political agenda.
Think Ryder Cup. That should help answer your question?
Weird, eh? The derogatory nickname is also bizarre.
Oh I don't know, maybe supporting their own tour.
A plugged ball gets a free drop, if you can find it. BDC unfortunately couldn't despite it being within 2 yards of fairway. Had it been designated GUR he didn't even need to find it, but obviously after the deluge not enough time to find every bad spot on the course to mark GUR. Hard luck for Bryson.
Am i the only one who thinks BDC is just plain ugly to watch. Kinda like a weight lifter psyching himself up before every huge drive. Not saying its wrong in any way and good luck to the lad. But its not like watching Ben Hogan. Goodness i sound old.
When watching good players, I’m often thinking what can I learn from their swing. Els’ tempo for example, or Louis. But when I watch Bison, there isn’t a single thing about his approach that I think looks good. Effective in the right course, but Christ it’s ugly to watch.
Bryson will learn to keep it shut and let his game do the talking
That seems unlikely.
The bloke had a giant ego, has announced in interviews that he will win at least 10 majors. The chances of him keeping his head down are zero.
You can see that he just looks confused out there, can’t understand why he isn’t leading.
There’s about as much chance of Donald trump conceding with grace as there is of bison not boasting .

Someone on here the other day made a set of predictions, one of which was McIlroy finishing 10th after hitting some great final rounds and a dreadful opening round. Not a bad shout! McIlroy really needs to work on playing under pressure again, he hasn't been able to do that for a good 5 years now.
I recall another prediction being deChambeau coming close to winning though... ??

Can we stop talking about Bryson? Yes he hits the ball far but if he's scraping through the cut hes not in contention.
9 shots off the lead. Focus on the players that matter at the business end of the Masters

Woods is 17th and the BBC are fawning over him too!
"Can we stop talking about Bryson?"
Why? His boasting pre-tournament and subsequent poor play is the most interesting thing that's happened so far, given we're halfway through a 4 day tournament. That's more interesting than endless speculation on who might win, despite there being 2 more rounds left to play.

Amazing how the Masters is now further down the BBC’s priority list than poor quality women’s rugby and football.

I can't see how Woods is 'shining' as he's 17th!
BBC-woods love in again.
I'd love to see Bryson win it if only to upset the ubiquitous JimmyC.
Dude, it’s lashing rain outside, the courses are closed, and I have 2 nights of golf to look forward to. Nothing could spoil that. I’d prefer to see a European win, but really I’m just going to enjoy 2 nights of watching golf.
If Bison wins from the cut line, good on him, but it’s not going to ruin my weekend, sorry to disappoint you!

Bernhard Langer still swings and looks the same as 40 years ago, proving that there is no need for the short term, bash it off the course and cash in while I can of someone else
Forget dechambeau BBC...I grew up watching Langer and he's still mixing it with the best...oh and he's ALWAYS been the consummate sportsman. Concentrate on his achievement for the youngsters reading your articles
Well said. Langer a legend in the game,perfect gentleman and plays in the manner and spirit to enhance the game of golf which is the first rule of our great game. Long may he continue.
'consumate sportsman' ???
Whats sporting about using a pendulum putter ?
The game is about a golf swing. You can't swing a Club if one end is pivoted to your body !
Thankfully the agreed ban on these clubs is due to come in soon, 2022 i think ?

Spot the difference when no spectators to stop the ball rolling off around the greens and also as ball spotters. Should never be spectators on the edges of out of boounds able to stop the ball with chairs,bags,etc.
Butch was talking about this on tv last night, saying that lack of rough around the greens is great protection for a course, allowing the balls to run into challenging run-off areas rather than every course having a collar of rough on every green that stops the ball going into nasty places.

McIlroy had a dreadful first round. But if he can match his second round & maybe find a little extra over the remaining 36 holes, you never know. So often he has a round so bad in the majors that it destroys his contention, despite the brilliance of the other 3. Or look at the Open last year, a complete Jekyll & Hyde performance, just missing the cut. That was probably nerves, being on home shore.
Thanks for stating the obvious..

A plugged ball does not get a free drop.. unless the organisers announce 'placing on fairways allowed'. This is usually only announced in extreme conditions where there are large puddles on the fairways/greens.
Did you see a puddle anywhere, i certainly didn't, so the ball has to be played as it lies which is THE most basic rule of Golf.
In Club Golf 'placing' is often referred to as Winter Rules.

I find it difficult to regard Bernhard Langer and Adam Scott as serious golfers whilst they continue to use those ridiculous broom handle/ pendulum putters.
Most players who used them have switched back to standard putters before the ban comes in.
And most Golf Clubs have now banned them.

What do you think of the Bryson anchor up the arm? I'd ban that too.
Might be time for you to get over it. The authorities set new rules and the lads are obviously operating within those rules.
But if you put a hanky under your knees to stop them getting wet it's building a stance. Add 2 feet to your shaft to stop the yips & it's ok.
Mickelson has the sort of putter I like. Like something you'd get at a pitch & putt .

Oh and not forgetting equally placed willet and rose. Give up this sickening fanboy obsession and report the golf.
I think that's a fair reflection of the interest levels given the comments about both on here. So about right.

Is it? Really? More interesting than a 63 year old making the cut? A player who has been around for decades, been a Ryder Cup stalwart also captain and won a couple of Masters, not to mention playing in the Seniors tour and pretty much wiping the floor with everyone? Yeah, that would be SO boring to mention!
How many others in the field have bulked up and yet are streets ahead of The Hulk?
How many are easing round the course to their limitations and streets ahead of the Hulk?
Brute force and ignorance in the style of a bull in a china shop have never dominated this game.
Subtle tactics win over any course so trying to bludgeon your way round just won't work 24/7/365.

A graceless comment, this is the lead article and Alex1817 makes a fair point. The article is unbalanced and panders to the uninformed.
Just something unlikeable about DeChambeau.
I'll never forgive him for leaning on his bag and chatting and giggling with his caddy as Sully searched in vain for his ball. He's an ugly man with an ugly swing who does ugly things.
Yeah....he's American !!!

Yep. Consummate cheat using that putter. There's a reason they are referred to as 'cheat sticks'. Butch Harmon referred to this yesterday but McGinley sidestepped the issue......

Cant wait to Adam Scott drift down the rankings even further when he HAS to change to a putter which doesnt risk rules breach. When he sent two balls for a paddle yesterday it was the golf gods giving it large.
After a pathetically vain attempt to do the right thing I thought they'd parked that old chestnut. You see Langer and Scott stealing money whilst using the che*ting stick as Murray and his mates treat it like the elephant in the room.

Bit of a shame DeChambeau made it, have to listen to his commentary as well on every hole.
There is a fine line between knowing how good you are and arrogance and cockiness, DeChambeau doesn't even know this line exists, Augusta (so he says) is a par 67 for him, I so wish he had missed the cut by one shot.
He needs to look at his attitude and how he conducts himself on the course (European Open 2018 is a prime example

Spot on. Neither the players nor the armchair pundits make the rules. There are a lot of Rules I'd change before that one, free drop from a fairway divot for one.

Bison will get bantered for the rest of his life re the par 67 comment. Looks a bit silly now.
