EIt’s likely one of the many buildings that grows in the Augusta National Forest each year, someone is conditioning a size 58 jacket of one of the partners to have it ready on Sunday according to the history. Thus the tradition in Augusta, that after giving him a borrowed one, the next day orders the tailor shop Hamilton Tailoring from Cincinnati one so that the champion -if it is released as it would be the case- can wear it outside the club until the next Masters, at which time it must be guarded by the club.
The five advantage strokes with which Scottie Scheffler fastened the second day are a reason to prepare the garment before the victory of the world number 1. Scheffler equaled the biggest lead after two rounds in Masters history and only once in the previous five times has a leader enjoyed such a distance at the halfway point hasn’t gone on to win the tournament. Jordan Spieth (2015), Raymond Floyd (1976), Jack Nicklaus (1975) y Herman Keiser (1946) made the advantage good; Harry Cooper (1936) finished second, losing by one blow to Horton Smith in a storm-driven edition that forced the last two rounds to be played on Monday.
The victory, in addition to his first bigwould mean the fourth victory of the year in six tournaments, a streak that in the 21st century has only been achieved by Tiger Woods in several seasons and Vijay Singh in 2004.
Only the memory of the defeat of Greg Norman in 1996 against Nick Faldo, who squandered a six-shot lead that he had with the last day remaining, in addition to Woods’s prediction that it will be a hectic Saturday due to the difficulties in which the Augusta National will be played, fuel the options of the rest of competitors.
