Masters social round-up: Sergio´s charge, Couples rolling back the years and Grace´s brilliance
Sergio Garcia went on a popular charge at the Masters as the leaderboard became far more compact on a dramatic day two.
Charley Hoffman could not match his opening-round 65 and slipped back to four under for the tournament after a disappointing 75, and Garcia – despite being temporarily the subject of a scoreboard error – joined him after posting a three-under 69.
Later in the day it was the turn of Rickie Fowler and Thomas Pieters to turn on the style to make it a four-way tie at the top heading into the weekend, while a certain Jordan Spieth also surged back into contention.
Here’s our round-up of day two via social media.
Ouch! It was a difficult day from the start for defending champion Danny Willett…

There was plenty of confusion as a scoreboard error wrongly had Garcia scoring a seven at the 10th, but the mistake was quickly rectified.
There was a scoring-reporting error with Sergio Garcia. He made a bogey 5 on No. 10. The error is being corrected. #themasters

Meanwhile Fowler was doing this at the second during his charge up the leaderboard…

It was not just the young guns doing their thing at Augusta as Fred Couples once more delighted the Patrons.

57 year old Freddie Couples still mixing it with young guns like Rahm, Fowler and Pieters to win the Masters..it’s what sets our game apart
