Angel Cabrera
Cabrera, the winner of the 2009 Green Jacket, has returned to Augusta for the first time since 2019 after spending time in prison Assault and threats. He was asked by a reporter if he was “fit” to play for this year’s Master, given his time spent in prison for his crimes. All winners are exempt from the tournament for life.
His reaction?
“Why not?”
He was 11 overs in the second round and was tied to his second score.
Dustin Johnson
The 2020 Masters winner’s weekend ended with a broken heart. Johnson was 18 years old, but a costly double bogey sent him under the cut line. This is my second straight miss cut at Augusta. In 2023, he was tied up on the 48th. His best finish since his victory was his 12th tie in 2022.
Brooks Koepka
Koepka attacked the majors in 2023, finishing second in Augusta, winning the PGA Championship. Last year was the opposite, and this week was a continuation at Augusta. Like his LIV fellow Johnson, Koepka was lined up to play on the weekend.

It will be Zalatoris
Fans are still waiting for Zalatoris to jump, but this week it didn’t happen. Zaratoris opened the second day and released the first 10 holes, but he bogeyed 11 and double bogeyed 12 and 15, but he got out of the race. His week ends in eight overs.
Tony Finau
After finishing fifth in Genesis, Finau played weak golf, not finishing in the top 30 in any of his last five tournaments. He grinds and at one point he reaches under the cut line, but he can’t stick.

Russell Henry
Henry was a sleeper for many to run in a green jacket (including us). But from the jump, he struggled. The 80th overs put him in a desperate mode on Friday, 67 on Friday, and 5 under, but the three overs in the tournament wasn’t enough.
Phil Mickelson
Mickelson’s double bogey on the par 5 15th dropped him under the cut line. He then bogeyed 16 and 18, and was well short. He shocked the world with a second-place tie after a great final round two years ago, but has not been able to find the same magic since.
