The second round of The Masters Tournament 2024 turned out to be a bad day for Emiliano Grillo. After a round of 76 the day before, the Argentinian was under a lot of pressure on day two and was unable to withstand it. With a round of 83 (+11), Grillo finished Friday with the worst round of the tournament so far and found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard.
The Masters Tournament 2024: Emiliano Grillo with four double bogeys
With a double bogey on the first hole, Emiliano Grillo set an early course for the weakest tournament round so far at The Masters Tournament 2024. The pros also had to contend with strong winds on the second day, which clearly made things difficult for Grillo. With two bogeys and a birdie the Argentinian went on to the last three holes of the front nine, where he recorded two more double bogeys. Grillo was therefore already seven strokes over par at the halfway point of his second tournament round in Augusta. The next double bogey promptly followed on the back nine at the eleventh hole. Grillo followed this up with a bogey and a birdie before the Argentinian completed his horror round with two bogeys on the last two holes.
After a round of 76 on day one and a somewhat impressive 83 on the second day of the tournament, Emiliano Grillo has no hope of playing at the weekend. The Argentinian is currently in last place on the leaderboard (+15) and will therefore clearly miss the cut. The Argentinian recorded his best finish at a Masters in 2016 with T17. Incidentally, the highest score ever achieved at a Masters tournament is a 95 by Charles Kunkle in the final round in 1956. Particularly in view of the difficult weather conditions, Emiliano Grillo is therefore well worthy of leniency.
