The Masters 2025 LIVE: Day two as it happened

Justin Rose leads the 2025 Masters at Augusta National by one stroke from LIV Golf recruit Bryson DeChambeau.

NEW: MASTERS R3 LIVE UPDATES

England's Justin Rose leads the 2025 Masters after 36 holes.

Rose carded a 1-under 71 on Friday to reach the summit on 8-under par.

He leads 2024 U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke. 

Rory McIlroy looked as though his bid to achieve the career grand slam was done and dusted for another year.

But the Ulsterman roared back into contention on day two with a 6-under 66.

Scottie Scheffler, the reigning champion, battled his way to an entertaining 71.

Tyrrell Hatton, Jason Day, Corey Conners, Shane Lowry and Viktor Hovland are also inside the top 10.

He reached the front edge in two and in classic Spieth fashion chipped it to within an inch of the cup. A tap in birdie gets his second birdie of the day and down to 1 under par.

Lowry -5 (T4)

Shane pars the par 4 18th and leaves himself in contention in the weekend with a 4 under 68. 

5 birdies and a bogey will leave Shane in a spot he probably didn't expect himself to be in despite the fantastic season he's had so far.

Rory dropped a solid 4ft putt to par the 18th hole and finish with a 6 under 66 putting himself back in contention.

A great display of golf from the Irishman that matched the tempo of round 1's first 14 holes and he'll hope to continue that rhythm into the weekend.

Big par save for McIlroy

McIlroy -6 (16), Aberg -5 (16)

Huge par save for Rory on 16.

After a slappy tee shot way right of the pin, McIlroy managed to bump his ball up onto the green to six fet, and once again he converted the putt.

Just before McIlroy made par, Aberg drilled his first birdie of the back nine into the cup. 

Aberg moves up to 5-under par and is also bang in contention for a first Masters.

Another birdie for Rory

McIlroy -6 (15)

McIlroy smashed a drive down the par-5 15th and then sent a long iron to the right side of the green.

It only just cleared the water, but let's be honest, this hole owed him something after chipping into the water here on Thursday.

McIlroy putted up from some 70 feet to six feet, and he duly converted the birdie putt on the left side to move it to 6-under par for the round and for the tournament. 

He's just two shots off the pace now. 

No player has won The Masters with two double bogeys during the week since Craig Stadler in 1982.

Career grand slam hopeful McIlroy could re-write plenty of records with a win this Sunday.
