McIlroy’s objective was to distance himself from a crowded leaderboard, and he did so in spectacular fashion by carding a 7-under-par 65. After a steady start, the defending champion birdied six of his final seven holes—including a chip-in birdie at the par-3 17th—to reach 12-under-par. This performance set a new Masters record for the largest 36-hole lead, standing six strokes clear of his nearest rivals. The round was characterized by clinical putting and precise iron play from the chasing pack. Patrick Reed and Sam Burns are tied for second at 6-under-par after carding rounds of 69 and 71, respectively. Tommy Fleetwood moved into a tie for fourth at 5-under-par following an adventurous round that included two eagles. Other notable moves included Tyrrell Hatton, who hit all 18 greens in regulation to shoot a 66 and climb into the top ten. However, the day was not without its casualties; the cut fell at 4-over-par, claiming high-profile names such as Bryson DeChambeau, Cameron Smith, and Dustin Johnson, while Jon Rahm managed to squeeze into the weekend right on the number.
