The 2015 Masters champion made the wrong kind of history at Augusta on Friday by carding an ugly nine on the par five No. 15 — for the second time in his career. Spieth finished up 79-74 and well outside the cut.

The reason you didn’t hear much about Johnson this week is because the 2020 Masters champion didn’t really do much to warrant conversation. Johnson recorded just one birdie in 36 holes.

For the second consecutive year, a bogey on 18 cost Thomas the opportunity to play on the weekend. Even changing caddies this week couldn’t stop his collapse as JT carded three double bogeys in his last four holes on Friday. He went from a sneaky contender on Saturday to out of the tournament in just about an hour.

The U.S. Open champ arrived for his first Masters with as much hype as a debutant not named Tiger Woods. He just couldn’t avoid bogeys on Friday, recording seven on just one birdie.
