Justin Thomas, like Matsuyama, had a tough start.
He's looking a bit windswept out there and is gritting his teeth in between shots, hands in his pockets and looking a bit frustrated.
The U.S. PGA champion has just picked up his first birdie of the day at 15 after making two bogeys at 12 and 13. He started on the back nine.

Hideki Matsuyama did not have the start he envisioned when he was clipping away golf balls during his range warm-up.
The Masters winner started 6, 6 with two double bogeys at No. 10 and 11.
He'll need a fair few birdies to make it through to the weekend.
Matsuyama has started to move in the right direction in the last few moments, though, as he's picked up a shot at No. 13 to move back to 5-over par for the tournament.
Matthew Fitzpatrick is having a good start to his second round.
He's 3-under par for the day. He started on the back nine and birdies at 10, 11 and 15 have him moving up the leaderboard nicely.
