Scheffler -5 (18)
Scheffler hits a 5-iron through the green on the 18th. After watching his playing partner Justin Thomas tap in for a par, he gets up-and-down to save bogey.
That's a 71 for Scheffler.

Hatton -5 (17)
What a shocker from Tyrrell. The Englishman lags his birdie putt from 20 feet to one foot but he has somehow lipped out for par. And it ends up eight feet away.
But Hatton rams home the bogey putt.
Everyone get out of the way!
Scheffler -6 (17)
Scheffler finds his golf ball in the trees but he's got no shot and barely any swing.
All he can do is punch out into the fairway. He's got a long third coming up...
The top 50 players and ties will make the cut.
The projected cut is currently 2-over par with a few groups left on the course.
What we do know, though, is that several big names won't be playing anymore golf.
Will Zalatoris, Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Cameron Smith, Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia will be heading home early.
Scheffler -6 (16)
Scheffler bounces back from his bogey at the 16th with a birdie at the 17th.
From the middle of the fairway, Scheffler's approach lands pin high and darts left to about six feet.
Can Scheffler convert? Of course he can.
One to go for the reigning champion.
And just as I type these words, Scheffler's tee shot at the last is miles left. He's going to a lot of work to do just getting that back in play.
MacIntyre +6 (18)
Bob finishes with three consecutive bogeys and the Scot will not be around for the weekend.
Morikawa -3 (69)
Collin Morikawa makes bogey on the 18th for the second day running and slips back to 3-under.
Still, five shots adrift of the lead after 36 holes is nothing to sniff at.
He has every chance...
Scheffler -5, Thomas E (16)
Scheffler is safely on board the green on the par-3 16th. The only problem is he's nearly 50 feet from the hole.
His birdie attempt slides by some eight feet and he can't manage to make the returning putt.
Thomas escapes with a par.
Morikawa -4 (17)
Wow. Collin Morikawa is making a late charge up the leaderboard as the sun begins to set at Augusta National.
He picks up another birdie at 17 and is now only four shots behind Justin Rose.

Hatton -6 (13)
Cracking shot from Hatton at the 14th. He'll have about 15 feet to get to 7-under.
Conners -6 (18)
Canada's Corey Conners continues to impress at Augusta National.
Conners, who is making his eighth start here this week, finished inside the top 10 in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
Will he stick around over the weekend?
Scheffler -6 (14)
Scheffler's up-and-down day continues.
The reigning champ dropped two shots at 10 and 11 but he's already got those back.
He strikes at the par-4 14th and is back to a share of second place with Rory McIlroy, Corey Conners and Tyrrell Hatton.
Morikawa -2 (14)
Good stuff from the two-time major winner, who picks up a shot on the 13th.
Couples +3 (18)
Fred Couples also looks as though he will miss the cut.
The 65-year-old had a glorious birdie look up the last to ensure he would play the weekend but his effort slides past the cup.
What an effort, though!
Bryson DeChambeau has just spoken to members of the media after carding a 68.
He says he's going to try and keep it simple over the next 36 holes and, hopefully, be wearing a green jacket on Sunday evening.
"So I'm just going to give it my absolute best, and whatever happens, happens," he said.
"It was a wonderful setting. It's been a fantastic 41 years here at Augusta National and I look forward to many more years here watching and not competing." - Bernhard Langer
Scheffler -5, Thomas +1 (13)
Thomas and Scheffler find the water with their approaches to the 13th green.
From the drop zone, Scheffler hits an outrageous chip to four feet and saves his par.
Thomas can't follow Scheffler with a par, though, and drops back to 1-over.
Langer +3 (18)
That might just be the last we see of Bernhard Langer at Augusta National.
A par at the last would have ensured he definitely played the weekend but now he faces a nervous wait to see if the cut moves to 3-over par.
He will need some help from other players now.
Goodbye to a legend?
If it is goodbye, then he received a proper send-off from the patrons.
Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley was waiting by the green to give the German a giant hug.
And all of Langer's family are here too...
Conners -6 (15)
3 steady pars keeps Corey Conners locked at T3.
A 2 under round so far today and looking to take advantage of more birdies.
Scheffler -5 (12)
What a turn of events! Scottie chips in from off the green after flying his tee shot over the back into the bushes. Talk about taking advantage of good fortune.
He moves back up into T6.
A very lucky break for Scottie as he flies his tee shot over the 12th par 3 green .
The ball landed in the bushes and then trickled out to a few yards short of the green. A routine up and down should be in order.
Scheffler -4 (11)
Another bogey from Scottie as the wind has seemed to really rattle the American.
Laying up short of the green for his second shot he failed to get up and down for the par to drop down to T9th.
Finau +3 (10)
A disappointing three putt from Tony moves him outside the cut line as he moves into Amen corner.
The projected cut line remains at +2.
Conners -6 (13)
A huge birdie for Corey as he gets up and down from 100 yards off the green.
The birdie moves him to T3 alongside McIlroy and Bryson.
