The second round of the Masters was chaotic to say the least, with the scoring average of 75.08 the highest field scoring average in round two of The Masters since 2007.
Double and triple bogeys were being made everywhere at Augusta National on Friday and, following two three-over-par rounds of 75, it seemed that Luke List was destined to miss the cut… However, after “packing up his whole locker”, the American’s six-over-par tournament total turned out to be enough to make the weekend on the number!
“I was planning on missing the cut. Obviously the conditions were tough. I thought it was going to stay at five”, explained List, who is making his third Masters appearance. “For that to happen, it was a bonus. It happens in golf with those conditions, so I was very fortunate.”
Once back home, List stated: “I was at home and I had a bunch of friends and family. Your kids don’t care what you shoot, so they were acting normal. It’s tough. It really was. I feel like I played really well yesterday. I feel like I was really patient with the way I hung in yesterday and just didn’t get anything out of it.
“To miss like that, I felt it was stinging a little bit. Then to the full mix of emotions to be able to turn around and be able to play today was very special. I’ve been around a long time, so I’ve been watching the cut too many times to count, unfortunately. You kind of go pessimistic a little bit and you’re optimistic, and it’s just a big seesaw. Internally, you’re rooting for people to make some mistakes, but fortunately, like the golf course did that for me. I was very happy. All the six-overs were very happy it turned out in our favor.”
