Koepka showed himself and sent another notice to Augusta

The Day two of the Augusta Masters should help shape the list of applicants for the first ‘major’ of the season and it continues to grow Brooks Koepka. Colleader with -7 on the side Jon Rahm already Victor Hovland after the first round The American also rose to second with a -5 to place with a total of -12.

coepkaTherefore, he was in the lead after the morning shift of the second day with a five stroke advantage over Barrika’s and the Norwegian player. He took advantage of the good weather during the morning session to sign an eagle and three birdies which cemented their position of privilege in the second round of the tournament.

The American did not make notable mistakes, knowing how to hold pairs and take advantage of his opportunities. The first came on the par five of hole 2, after a great exit from the bunker to leave a putt a few meters for birdie that didn’t miss. He had to row later, with several pairs in a row but a few birdie choices were forgiven (only on the par four of 5) as it was difficult for him to find good positions on the green. However, Koepka reversed that trend on the par five of hole 8, where a good putt from the edge of the green served the eagle to launch his round.

At -3 on the day, he forgave a couple of putts for birdie until the par five 13th, where he came up just short with an eagle to avoid losing later. The same thing happened on the 15th hole, another par five where he won his fifth shot of the day, the last after failing to make another putt from the edge of the green on the 18th.

In this way, Koepka is at -12 after two days in which he barely made a bogey and launched his candidacy for the weekend. There is still a long way to go, but his rivals will also have to do their best, including Rahm, to try to dislodge him from the lead midway through the tournament.
